Hi Julz68 and a warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community. I’m sorry to read about your diagnosis but I’m glad you’ve found us.
My cancer is different, but a cancer diagnosis of any kind makes us ask lots of questions, causes confusion, stress and probably emotions we’ve never experienced before. We all agree, the endless waiting for tests, results and Consultations is so debilitating so to be able to talk to other people who are in the same situation will help you get through this.
The Macmillan Community is organised into dedicated support hubs. You’ve joined our Liver cancer group, this will be a good place to meet up with others making the same type of cancer journey. I would also suggest you join the Breast cancer group for further support and I have tagged another Community Champ to pop along and chat. with you. GRANNY59
It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. You can amend or update it at any time.
The Macmillan Support Services also provide lots of information, support, financial guidance or just someone to listen.
