  • Hello Stumpy71 and welcome to Cancer Chat,

    It's ok if you don't have any questions at this point, as they might come up in conversation. The important thing is that you feel informed and clear on what us going to happen. If you'd like to read more about proton bean therapy treatment, you can on our website. We also have a free cancer nurse helpline available if you'd like to ask a question to one of the team. You can call 0808 800 4040 and lines are open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.

    I hope this helps and that the video call at the end of the month goes ok,
