Well, all those who've told me about Macmillans these past few weeks have been right on the ball!
I emailed them yesterday as they have a support centre inside Southampton Hospital itself. Within about fifteen minutes a response came back which was out of this world! I have been welcomed with open arms and the mail sounded wonderfully sincere. I've been offered all kinds of support and help and can't believe it after the koos-och-tech breast care(?) nurses here (apologies to anyone that understands pheonetic arabic - ah-hem)....DON'T LOOK IT UP, you'll never speak to me again - it's extremely rude indeed !! (thank you Israel for teaching me the profanitiesto use when I need them :-)) !!
What a different kettle of fish southampton is going to be - for support anyway, at present - hoping for much better non-intimidating treatment by the nursing staff I will encounter too!
Thank you with all my heart for the tips about Macmillans - I feel good about going now and not as alone as I thought I would end up.
