Brain overload

So I have cin 3 I'm waiting for cat and mri scans this week... glad everything is moving fast...but my poor head I have information overload....

  • Hi mummy38

    I think that many Cancer Chat members will understand what you mean by information overload.

    If you would like to call our nurses for advice at any point, please do contact the helpline on freephone: 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

    As you say, it is positive that everything moving fast for you, but there may be some things that you would like to talk through.

    Please let us know how your scans go this week.

    Welcome to Cancer Chat,

    Jane

  • Hello mummy38,

    I just wanted to say we are all here for you anytime you need to talk. Sometimes it is easier to come here and talk to others who really understand how you feel than to speak to your loved ones who are closest to you.

    Perhaps you could give our nurses a quick ring tomorrow morning if you feel the need to talk things through with someone? You can ring them on the number that Jane provided above. I am sure others will be along soon to share their own experience with you. Don't hesitate to tell us more too, if you wish, about your situation and your worries.

    Best of luck with your scans if they haven't happened already - we are keeping everything crossed for you!
