On the financial side, you could be entitled to some benefits. I have had excellent advice and help from Maggie's on these things, including getting some travel grants. They even filled out the forms for me and uploaded information, very helpful! I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Do you know your treatment plan yet?

Welcome to the group, yes you'll get lots of support on here from surgery to treatments and how we're all coping with our lives as we go through this journey we have in front of us. Just take one day at a time and if you have any treatment try and arrange your care when your at yourself. Macmillan benefit and financial help are brilliant too, you could be entitled to a grant and some benefits.. Take care
