Hi...defo newbie...just diagnosed..stage3 slash 4...awaiting MRI..not started treatment yet...and chemo first prior to op...2week wait ended up being 8 weeks....but hey here now...not sure what to expect yet....
Hi SteveC67 and a warm welcome to the board. The waiting for scan results and treatment start dates is very stressful but once there is a plan in place then things will feel a bit better. Stay away from google - it can be scary and out of date - you can ask anything you like on here - there’s nothing too daft or embarrassing!
There’s lots of posts on here from people at all stages of treatment and recovery which you can read and, if you click on their names, then their profile page may show their history.
Once you know what chemo you’ll be having then we’ll be able to give you some links about what to expect - everyone has their own experience regarding chemo and the side effects but it’s all towards the op and getting rid of the tumour.
The next few months will be tough but we’re here to help and support you through this
Take care
