  • Ring the helpline n ask them  0808 808 0000. Quickest way probably of getting an answer.Rather than fretting all weekend.

    Fear of the unknown is the worst thing. Once we know what we're facing, we find the strength to deal with it.
  • Hi , sorry to hear your concerns.

    If your uncle has any concerns he should always call his team........ but I see you posted the same question, on another thread under a tittle of Leukaemia, and you say that a CT showed his nodes had shrunk. If he is going through treatment for Leukaemia, nodes will go up and down during treatment.

    We do have lots of support groups that are Cancer specific including a few specific Leukaemia Forums and also ones that are general Cancer experience groups.

    Follow the links above and join any of the groups by hitting the ‘Join the Group’ tab just under the main group name and it is worth indicating how you want to receive email notifications when someone answers your posts.

    Go to the 'Start a Discussion' tab just under the main group name and set up your own Discussion and introduce yourself to the group - you could just copy an paste what you have in this first post. 

    You may find our various Macmillan Support Line Services to be helpful - call them on 0808 808 00 00 This free service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link.

    Always around to help out.
