Hi mic-st,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read about your diagnosis - I hope you're getting on OK, although I can certainly imagine things feel a bit uncertain and worrying at the moment.

At this stage it sounds like you have limited information so try not to assume anything, and also it's best not to look things up online as the information isn't specific to you and can be inaccurate.

Once you have your next appointment and the scan you'll know more and will have some clear next steps to take.

In terms of your question about your shoulder, it would be best to ask prior to your scan - or at your next appointment.

It's natural to feel the way you're feeling - try to carry on as normally as you can for the time being. I'm glad you found Cancer Chat too and I hope you find it helpful.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben
