recent diagnosis

Hi martha33 

Do you have any questions you’d like to ask here for those of us have been through treatment? 

It can be a good idea to write down notes of any questions as you go along and then they’re ready to ask at any appointment. Some might be answered at your planning scan, some can be answered by your consultant, and we can help with things we’ve gone through ourselves.

I’m presuming you are not going through the chemo combo treatment prior to chemoradiation which uses a different chemo? It can be helpful for you and the group to update your profile so we know what your diagnosis is, staging and plan so that we don’t need to ask questions of you, and can see at a glance where you’re at.

Exactly the same as my plan at diagnosis for stage 2b. Let us know if you need to ask anything in the group and we’ll try to help if we can.
