I can see there may be procedural differences etc. Carys. I'm talking about from a caregiver, mentally supportive aspect as well as preparation aspect, especially if rads or chemo will be used. I found out what to expect, when to expect it, how to prepare, what to do if this, that or the other came up (and boy, did they!) and much that wasn't explained by the doctors nearly as well as those on the front line. The insight and support truly was invaluable.

Also Kestral, and I don't know if its this way in the UK, but the hospital where I was treated had support services (both psychological and spiritual) for warriors and their caregivers. Might be worth asking about.
