Hi Andrea

Firstly, welcome to the Discussion Forums, I’m sure you’ll find them a great source of support and information.

Please feel free to give the Helpline a ring who offer a confidential support and information service as well as a listening ear. They can also direct you to other sources of support.

They’re on 0808 800 6000 and are open 9-2 today and 9-5 on weekdays.

There are also lots of publications available for those who are newly diagnosed, they can be either downloaded or ordered here:

Kind regards.
