Hi everyone - Diagnosed today:(

Sorry to hear your news. It’s a scary time and I just wanted to reach out (never posted before) and say that although it’s tough waiting for tests and results, I found that every nurse, doctor and hospital worker I have seen so far have been absolutely amazing. The Macmillan helpline is a fantastic way to talk to some kind and caring people. Not only for chats with a nurse for medical questions but also for the emotional support chats. When you are waiting to find out your next steps and talking to family and friends is hard as you don’t want to worry them too much, they will support you for as long as you need to talk. I really hope you can manage to look after yourself. Try to relax with breathing exercises (they actually can help) and take care. 

Thank you! I really hope I can beat it up quickly, try to stay positive.

There are lots of places to get support when you feel that you need it. I often find myself reassuring family that I am ok and when I need to speak in depth about things I often speak to the helpline. Always feel more positive afterwards. Hope you are managing to have more good days than bad
