    Thank you everyone for your comments.
    Within 72hrs of arriving home from Barcelona I’ve seen both GP and consultant. We’re discussing treatment routes while we wait for the biopsy results (due next week) and expect to start treatment proper in 1st week of January. Astonished how fast! For now I’m going to start with the pre-treatment steroids as a warm up.

    Thank you NHS!

    Bring on 2024 to get this done…..

    Bring on 2025 when life can be re-set somewhat.

    THanks

    Thank you everyone for your comments. The NHS is working at its best. Having returned to the UK on Monday, I saw my GP on Tuesday and by Thursday had my first consultation at the local treatment hospital. Quite remarkable.

    I’ve hooked into the local Maggie’s Centre. There is also a MacMillan cantre at the hospital.

    I really did not expect to have hade this progress in the first week. I feel much more settled knowing I’m in the system and the cogs are turning.

    Thanks

    Thank you Mulberry.
    I live close to the main Edinburgh cancer hospital. I’m guessing that’s where I will be seen.

    A compression fracture in a vertebra has delayed my return to the UK but have stabilised that in Spain, while we did all the other tests.

    I’ll figure out who my clinical nurse is. Practically, I imagine they are an goldmine of help and information.

    Thank you. I really appreciate your comments
