Welcome to the forum, chorley.

It's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed and uncertain when faced with such significant decisions about your treatment options. It's important to remember that it's okay to take your time and carefully weigh the pros and cons of each option.

When making your decision, consider discussing your concerns and preferences with your medical team as they can provide valuable insights into the potential risks and benefits of each procedure, as well as guidance based on your individual circumstances and medical history.

Hopefully, others who have had similar experiences will come along shortly to offer advice. That being said, if you feel like asking some questions to our team of nurses, they'd be happy to talk things over with you Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this freephone 0808 800 4040.

Last but not least, please remember you're not alone, there is always someone here if you feel like a chat.

All the best,

Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
