Hi was diagnosed at the end of November and yesterday’s surgery was cancelled due to doctors strike - now will be 31st January. Wasn’t told much but CNS confirmed it’s stage 1B when I asked. I live alone and a friend had arranged to stay with me for a week. She can’t do this for new date- won’t be able to come till 13th January. I’m doing what I can to prepare- freezing meals and getting chores done! However would be grateful for tips on how to manage. Have friends and be who will do any shopping.
Tough few weeks- basal cell cancer removed with skin graft on forehead in November on same day as 2nd biopsy - and broke ankle at beginning of December. Doing ok but want to get surgery over with now!
any tips appreciated!
