Hi @Demilouise

Welcome to the Community from me too! I notice you have posted in work and financial so I'm thinking that might also be an issue for you.

This is all about work related matters, how to get help from your employer as well as your rights at work and financial support available.

Have you been started on any treatment yet? I know it sounds like ages, well it is, but it takes around 12 weeks for the full benefit of treatment to be known, so do be kind to yourself while it all gets started.

Do post back with any specific enquiries, I'm sure we can help

Take care
