Hello new to this
..Welcome to the group ..Not where we all wanted to find ourselves …but it’s very helpful for asking questions ..general chat ..having a rant and a way of getting things off your chest ..It really does help to speak to people who are going through a similar situation.. but individually different ..So feel free to share your story ..you’ll always find a listening ear and support .
Hi CJ.
A very sad welcome aboard. I think you will find lots of us that are new to this.
I have oesophageal cancer. Diagnosed March 23.
Talking and reading the stories on here has been helpful to me but bear in mind that each journey is most definitely individual and therefore what others are going through won't necessarily be your journey.
Are you a patient or career?
If you click on my profile icon at the side of this post it will take you to my profile where I have been keeping a diary.
I hope that you find it helpful.
Stay positive and well informed. Keep away from Google. Keep in contact with your cancer specialists for advice or ask those in here who are living it.
Best regards Geo.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
