Hi Nidge
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I can completely understand how shocked you must have been to discover that you are dealing with a different type of cancer to what you originally thought.
I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet so responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnoses and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
Thank you for the message
