  • Hi Vonjessen,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can understand that dealing with this waiting and uncertainty isn't easy. I hope that it's not long for you to wait for your appointment and for the information you need.

    Try to avoid looking things up online about this as a lot of the information won't be relevant and it often tends to increase worries.

    We are always here for support whenever you may need it - to write things down and to reach out to others.

    As I say, hopefully you'll hear more soon. Wishing you all the best,
