Hello, newly diagnosed and scared

Hi thanks, it's the waiting for news of starting treatment that gets me, as you say keep calm if possible

Hi there, I don't know what area of the UK you are in. I am i North Hampshire which incorporates Basingstoke, Winchester, Andover and  sometimes Southampton. In this I am very lucky. If and it is if you have treatment you will find the kindest & most caring nurses and staff you could possibly wish for. I really mean that. They are quiet, calm and just so friendly. I have no qualms about treatment and feel able to ask any questions I might have without feeling silly. 2cm is not a large tumour and it may well be a case of just keeping an eye on it. So calm is the way, relax and rest well.     Tell your friends how you are feeling and you will be surprised how much they want to help.

Fingers crossed for you   Jackie

Actually live in Brittany France, born in the Uk, moved out here 17 years ago, 

My mum has been diagnosed with the same as yourself we are awaiting the next scan after she was told the areas, ATM we don't know the primary so where the cancer has come from so for now we don't know if there is treatment for her. A hard wait now for the next app x

Oh wow, just to get away from the nasty bits, we just adore France. Up until my diagnosis we used to spend 6,7,8 weeks but 2024 because of 3 weekly treatment cycles it didn't happen. We own a Camper Van and just bumble around with no real plan. I know nothing about the French medical system so other then send my very best wishes and a hug I'm not a lot of use.  I saw my Oncologist yesterday. She is just fantastic and we seem to have a mutual appreciation society between us ! we also laugh a lot. I'm very happy to say that at the moment my treatment is working well even after 21 cycles so I just carry on. Well       remember to try and think good thoughts, if it gets too hard then reach out, help is always there. Take care and I wish you well  Jackie

Yes it works quite well over here, it all kicks off in a few weeks, so fingers crossed

Mine will be crossed for you. Please let me know how things go. Thanks

They are doing a embalism, I have been told in early morning out in the afternoon, do you know anything about it, as far as I know it's a one dose wonder

I'm sorry it's not anything I'm familiar with. Give Macmillan a call and they will be able to explain it to you. Good Luck x

5th Dec for another scan and to see the doctor who is doing the job, been through this with many people including my wife had breast cancer 25 years ago still fighting strong but this is hitting me very hard, feeling very sorry for myself not the normal me
