Hi, I am new to the forum. I have received a tentative diagnosis but meeting consultant on Friday to clarify things and discuss a treatment plan. I feel out on a limb and left alone with little information so it has been a worrying time. I have no idea of the type of cancer, or the treatment I may undergo. I hope to have this cleared up on Friday! I am hopeful that support from this group will help me.
Hi and a warm welcome to the Online Community. Although I have a different cancer to you, I've been in the same position feeling I'd not been given information.
As you've written in your Bio, your Consultant's now probably met with his MDT (Multi Discipline Team - Surgeons, Oncologists, Anaesthetists, CNS's) so at your meeting tomorrow (Friday) he will explain fully your diagnosis and your treatment plan. (Remember your notebook - no-one remembers what they're told. To find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers can be found on our Online Information and Support Section.
You've joined a supportive forum so I'm sure someone will be along soon to welcome you.
