Hi. They had a cancellation so I waited a week instead of a month. 

I had the same experience before I was diagnosed.

Try not to worry about work .I phoned Mcmillan(s line for  financial support as I was worried what would happen after sick pay ran out.

My Mum (75 at time) had to help me fill in ridiculously long PIP form  and Job centre Coach on phone advised me to go on Employment Support Allowance (There is also Universal credit which seems to be a better option for some people).

Your local Cancer charity will also have people to help face to face or via the phone to fill in application and offer advise

Mcmillan also offer a free £200 grant to cancer patients who qualify (criteria on website)your Cancer Nurse Specialist(CNS) fills in the application for you. x

Brain whizzing is normal ! 

Try and keep that anxious brain busy do the things that you enjoy  watch  boxsets/ films etc 

Get some fresh air if you can and eat lots your favourite foods x

But please  stay off Google any questions ask this group , they helped me with every question I had  and gave me invaluable advise. Nurses were amazed at my medication knowledge( thanks to Dani and Hazel.) .

Keep us updated x
