Hello! I was diagnosed with stage 1 triple negative breast cancer on 30 July and started chemotherapy on 25 August. I’m not British and living in the UK on a spouse visa, so am new to the system as well.
So where do I start with resources? I’ve been struggling to get my psych referral through from the NHS so wondering if Macmillan has support? Any tips on what is available to help me through would be great!
Thanks!
Hi ElleDubs
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it both informative and supportive.
I am Steve, one of the community champions and my experience of cancer is via my wife who has Leiomyosarcoma.
New to the community is a bit like the welcome mat here while most of the community is divided up by cancer types and experiences. You might like to introduce yourself to our friends in the Breast cancer forum who will be able to share their perhaps more relevant experiences with you.
You are of course welcome to ring the helpline here, 0808 808 0000 open from 8am to 8pm 7 days a week.
There is a tool here in your area that give a postcode (yours or the hospital) can help find suppoprt services close to you.
<<hugs>>
Steve
