  • Hi Barb, thank you for such a warm welcome. Everything at the moment is a bit overwhelming and has been moving quickly. I’m recovering well from the operation and I’m just waiting to hear from the oncologist about the next steps, although I have been told it’s chemo and radiotherapy. I will definitely download that information, anything that helps. Once again thanks. Karen
