  • Hi adonna28, it is such a strain on your finances when someone is diagnosed with cancer. I think you will benefit from speaking to a financial advisor about any benefits you may be entitled to. You can ask here in the Ask an expert section, or you can call the Macmillan support line on 0808 808 00 00. You can also speak to someone at the citizen advice bureau who can help you with this. 

    It is so difficult waiting for test results, so I hope you will have the biopsy results soon so that treatment can start.
