  • Hi and welcome from me.  Stick with us as you go into treatment and at least one of us will have some experience of the issues that are concerning you - these cancers have many different presentations and treatment side effects and not everybody sees even a small % of them.

    These cancers are very responsive to treatment.  Just stay off Google as what you see on there is generally old treatment methods and things are so much better nowadays.
