Hi composernk84.

Thank you for sharing your story. Being diagnosed with breast cancer must have been incredibly difficult. It’s great to hear that the Macmillan Improving the Cancer Journey service and Jennifer provided the support you needed at the right time. We're pleased to read you are now cancer-free and wish you all the best with your radiotherapy—I’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Jennifer.

Best wishes.

Arlene

We’re so sorry to hear about your breast cancer diagnosis, but it’s heartening to know that with the support of Macmillan and the care you received from the Lanarkshire Beatson team, along with professionals like Jennifer, you found the guidance and comfort you needed during such a difficult time.

It’s wonderful to hear that you are now cancer-free and ready to move forward with your radiotherapy. Your strength and determination are truly remarkable, and we wish you all the best as you continue your recovery.

Kind regards

Kevin
