  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Clarke although I'm sorry to hear your cancer has returned.

    Have you spoken to your medical team about this? If not make sure you do as they will be in the best position to advise you on what to eat whilst waiting for your chemo to start. I have included some general information we have on our website about hairy cell leukaemia for you to have a look but it may be a good idea to give our cancer nurses a call as well. Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope your chemo goes well when the time comes clarke.

    Kind regards,
