It’s normal to feel like that. Once you get started on treatment , you will be in control and feel different x

Hi Sootybrad1, 

Thank you for your post on the online community.

I am sorry to read about that you are due to have surgery in a few days and then have chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I have no doubt that this is a difficult time for you. It is very difficult waiting to start treatment. 

If you would like to speak with one of our cancer nurses at any time, please contact the Support Line on 1800 200 700, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm. 

Kind regards, 

Cancer Nurse
