  • Hi Phil,I hope you will be able to enjoy your daughter and son in laws visit.I’m sure you will feel better once Thursday is over.Jane x

  • Thank you jane enjoy your day  take care Phil x

  • So sorry to hear that Phil, can't help much as I've only had one very small recurrence so far. 

    But everyone is here for you in any way they can, I'm sure once you had have a face to face you will have more answers and know what route things will take. 

    Hoping for a good outcome for you and all I can say is just do what they suggest and take it one day at a time.

  • Thank you  simon for your reply i don't know what i would do without this forum and the nice people on it all the  best Phil  

  • Hi Phil, its good you have your consultation in a few days. The fear of the unknown is so very stressful, we fill in the “what ifs” with often the worst case scenario. I really feel for you . Going forward Phil, whatever treatment plan you are offered , I am sure you will get the best of care and support. You will get through it . We are always here to steady you through. As for now, its the waiting thats the toughest . Try to keep yourself busy and if you are familiar with relaxation techniques , do some. go for walks . keep in touch with the forum. Sending you a hug and care  to give you strength. 

    Much love Angela x
