Hi - welcome, although sorry we meet here.
This forum "new to the community" is a catch-all group but not everyone visits it. There are many separate groups for each type, so can I suggest you copy your post into this group ->
and I guarantee you will find people happy to help and share experiences. We've all been through the horrible waiting and uncertainty you're going through right now. It does get better. And you're right that talking to people who have already gone through it really does help. Good luck xx
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
