    1. Hi Laura Thankyou so much for replying back,and sending me that info. Look forward to talking to you more.🥲

      1. No problem at all. I remember very well the time immediately after my diagnosis. It a time filled with so much uncertainty and it is natural to feel anxious. It gets easier when you know what the treatment plan is and you have something to work towards. My treatment was surgery but there is wealth of experience here on all sorts of different treatments. Both from articles and the experiences of fellow patients. Ask any questions you have and we will try to answer for you. Thinking of you at this difficult time. Sending positive vibes from Scotland.
