Hi Ajcjec, 

I just wanted to stop by to welcome you to the forum and to let you know how sorry I am to hear about your diagnosis. This must be a very difficult time.

I also want to reassure you that it's o.k to not feel o.k. If you don't feel strong right now, don't force it. You need to put yourself first and although it's good to have a positive mindset, it's good to be aware of the other less welcome emotions a cancer diagnosis can bring as well. You can find out more about how cancer can make you feel on our website.

If it would help to have a chat with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all they can to support you.

I'm sure some of our members will stop by soon to offer their thoughts and advice, but in the meantime be kind to yourself Ajcjec and remember that we will be by your side on every step of this journey.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
