I wish there was a hug service somewhere!

I can offer a virtual one.... Just come on here whenever you want to. There's always somebody around to chat with 

Thank you 

Sending another virtual hug. 
I used the free Macmillan counselling sessions - you get 6 - I found it really helpful. I took them after treatment. But you can sign up again after 6 months - im going to have more in July as its good to have an independent sounding board. 

Best of luck, take care of yourself - eat well and rest to build yourself up for the treatment. 

Its tricky journey but you will come through it

Tongue tumour radio and chemo for 6 weeks - ended 29th sept. 6 months on improving every day and back at work. 

This forum is fabulous - the people are so generous with their time and give great advice - I found them so supportive. They understand as they've been there - friends and family are great but they dont walk in your shoes.

I didn't know that. Thank you for letting us know. It will be a great help top so many

Virtual hug sent. Just pop on whenever you need one. It’s hard but if I can do it you  can do it.

one day at a time. You’ll get there. 

Whenever you feel alone pop on here, no question or thought is silly, you will be supported. I found this forum a godsend, lots of brilliant people on here especially Dani and Hazel. I used the free counselling service( didn’t realise you can sign up again). In the early days I often sat and cried during the night, even though I have my husband and family close, I still felt alone at times, it’s natural. I’m sending you a virtual hug too

We all need a hug from time to time as it can be a lot to take in, im sure if your girlfriend knew your feelings she would be only to pleased to help or be there for you, maybe by dealing with it together will help you get through the treatment. Its a big thing to deal with on your own so always seek for help if you need more support. Hopefully once you start the treatment it will all slot into place , we will be here should you need us, wishing you all the best.
