I am just looking at some tips to help me cope until I have my appointment next week. Like most people, I am worried sick about what is happening. I have had symptoms for 9-10 months and have been treated remotely by the GP practice who assumed it was something simpler and did no investigations. It is only now that my symptoms have become extreme and I am unwell that they have taken notice. I stupidly tried to Google my symptoms and it said by that time the cancer is usually advanced and difficult to treat - so I immediately stopped looking! Not easy since I am a Registered Nurse. So I want some advice on how to keep going, to be able to continue to look after my husband and autistic son (who would not cope if he knew).
