Hi Blackpudding,
Thats good that a treatment plan is now in place. You know what you’re facing now & although it’s daunting you’ve got the right mindset wanting to get things underway & get the treatment done. Have you been given an idea of a start date at all? Hopefully it won’t be too long now.

Near end off March have been off work a while looking like off another 3 months
I was off work for a total of 6-7 months, I had my diagnosis 14th February 2018, surgery 12th March, 8 weeks to heal then 23 days of chemoradiotherapy began on 14th May. I returned to work 5-6 weeks post treatment although I only work part-time. From diagnosis I just couldn’t cope mentally with the challenges that work sometimes brings but I made sure to keep myself busy as much as possible at home as it avoided me going down a rabbit hole of what ifs! I hope you get a start date soon.

Going for planning scan on Monday. It seems a long time to be off I work on telephone all day so would be hard to concentrate
