This day is not for you to ask questions about your own personal diagnosis or treatment, or for family or friends of people who have received a diagnosis.
An important part of the day is an online pre-event meet up at 7pm - 8pm on Monday 13 October providing the chance to say hello, ask any questions and prepare to get the most from working together.
