Hi room, I've recently had a locally advanced diagnosis and am about to start my journey. I'll probably have loads of questions and plenty to say further down the line, so wanted to introduce myself first.
Cheers
Bassplayer.
Hi Bassplayer and welcome to the forum. It would help us to help you if you add some details to your profile. You can see anyone's profile by clicking on the icon beside the username.
In the meantime I suggest going to the PCUK website and having a look at the brochures which you can download. This is a good place to start:

Be sure to ask any questions here as there will always be someone who has experience.
Hi Bassplayer. Welcome to the club you didn't want to join. Seamus has stolen my thunder and replied just as I would have done!!
I love the fact you say you will have plenty to say - that will go down well here and if you will excuse me that's "music to my ears". You will have to excuse me - that's me hormones.
Best wishes on your journey.
Brian.
