Hi Marie
Firstly welcome to the club/group I know it's not the club we all wanted to join but it is what it is unfortunately. You will get lots of support and advice on any questions you may have. Please read my profile by clicking onto my name and it will give you my story and why I joined the online community. For me it's been a very well eventual last 12 months. My chemotherapy was stopped last week by my oncologist with 10 weekly doses remaining out of 30 and I was on Fluralolicil or F2U. Hopefully your recovery has gone well and the chemo is just to see off the last few remaining cancerous cells.
Stay safe
Mark
