  • Hello Def

    Welcome to the forum although I'm really sorry to hear about the news this week that has led you to find us. It's obviously a very difficult time at the moment and natural that you're feeling so emotional. 

    It's good to hear that you're feeling the hospital team is looking after you so well. Hopefully your scan and biopsy results won't take too long and then you'll be able to sit down with the specialist to talk through your options. People often find that they feel a little better once they get to that stage and know what they are facing. 

    In the meantime, you might find it helpful to chat things through with one of our nurses. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information, and support they can. If you'd like to speak with them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch Def and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
