Welcome . I am so sorry to hear that . However I am glad you have reached out to us and hope we can offer you support as you navigate through this early stage .

The good news is we have had many people of a similar age to you who have passed through here and are now back firmly taking charge of their lives and putting all this in their rear view mirror .

People report feeling a lot more reassured and in control when they get a treatment plan put in place .
Please feel free to ask any questions . Other people will hopefully pop on and reassure you too .

Take care,

Court
