  • Hi Violet, 

    I'm not sure what time you're having your surgery this morning but I just wanted to wish you the very best of luck and let you know we're thinking of you.

    I hope your surgery goes well and I'll have my fingers crossed the results show nothing cancerous.

    Hopefully some of our members will also offer their thoughts and support to you soon but if you'd like to discuss your situation with one of our cancer nurses, you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m or if it's easier, you can make a post in their section of the forum just here.

    Kind regards,
