Hi I was diagnosed 17 months ago and still feel very lost. I've has one face to face consultation and been told I need to loose 6.5 stones. Yes I'm over weight but this has really worried me. I'm a dull time carer for my severely disabled Son and feeling very worried and lost.
Hi Joolz and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you're feeling very worried and lost. Having a cancer does cause us to experience all sorts of emotions but it doesn't help if you don't know what's going on. Have you been allocated a cancer nurse specialist (CNS), sometimes referred to as a key-worker? If so you could give them a call to talk things through with them. If you don't know who your CNS is you could call your consultant's secretary to find out their contact details.
Hoping you'll feel better after you've had a chat with someone on your team
