Hiya, I’m from oldham too, I was diagnosed two years ago this week and had surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I’m 38 now and have two little boys. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It’s unbelievable news to hear isn’t it. But the forum will help you, it was invaluable to me through my darkest times and beyond. why not post a new thread introducing yourself as it really helps to “meet” people at the same stage as you. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have though. Where abouts are you?
