Hi JaneyB342c9a,
It’s Megan here from Macmillan’s Online Community team. I’m sorry to hear you have a tender lump after your treatment. I saw your post and wanted to share some information with you while you wait for others with a similar experience to reply.
There is some information on the Macmillan website about SABR treatment, but if you want to talk to someone about your experience and get some guidance, the Nurses on the Macmillan Support Line can help.
Whilst the Nurses on the Macmillan Support Line can’t access personal medical records, they’ll be able to answer clinical questions about a cancer. You can speak to the Nurses on the Macmillan Support Line every day from 8am to 8pm.
To get in touch, you can call 0808 808 00 00 from 8am to 8pm. There is also the option to send an email or start a live webchat during the opening hours.
When you are logged into the Community, you can post questions in our Ask an Expert section of the Community. Our Nurses (Monday to Friday excluding Bank Holidays), and Support Advisers (7 days a week), will aim to respond as soon as they can. Usually within 2-3 working days.
I hope I’ve been able to reassure you that there’s lots of support available and we are here to help. If you need any help using the Community or finding additional support, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us by emailing Community@macmillan.org.uk or send a private message to the Moderator account.
Best wishes,
Megan
