Hi and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about your appointment tomorrow, these appointments can be difficult to deal with.
Covid has made this very complicated but most hospitals are starting to allow folks to take someone with them to appointments especially on a first appointment or when receiving results.
Best to call the hospital and ask, do remember that if you have to go by yourself you can have someone on FaceTime or on your phone speaker during the appointment…… I do hope it goes well.
Talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer journey will help you navigate this difficult time.
The community is divided up into different support groups so you can look through this list and choose the appropriate group for you.
To join a group just click on the link above then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens.
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘New Thread’ or hit the box with the X on the top right (phones), you could just copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'.
It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear.
We also have Cancer Nurse Team in our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.
To find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers check our Online Information and Support Section.
All the very best ((hugs))
