  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Maria, although I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with cancer.

    Coping with a cancer diagnosis can be very tough but our community are here for you, and I'm sure some of our members will stop by soon to offer their support and advice. I hope this section we have on our website about cancer and mental health will help you during this difficult time as well.

    I know you have your scan next week so I want to wish you good luck, and let you know we'll be thinking of you. Your medical team will be the best people to ask about the scan and what it may be looking for, but you're very welcome to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses as well. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease about what's to come.

    Do keep posting if you find it helps Maria and remember, that we will always be here for you.

    Kind regards,
