I have just started targeted therapy and wondering is anyone else going through this at the moment? No chemo, no radiotherapy, just a little tablet each day!
if anyone Woukd like to share their experiences as I’m not having much support with any info at all!!!

Hi Henryk and a welcome to the Online Community although I am so sorry to see you joining us and to hear about your diagnoses
The Community has various support groups (discussion rooms) so can I recommend that you consider joining our supportive Breast, secondary cancer and Pancreatic cancer groups.
These are safe places to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
If you'd like to connect in with a group click on the Green (Bold) link I have created above. Then once the group page opens click on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join ]button under "Group tools."
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go. You could copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
Macmillan have many support platforms so do check out the Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or via Webchat and Email too. These services provide cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear. We also have our Ask an Expert section but do allow a few working days for a reply.
Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.
Give me a shout if you need further help.
Best regards.
