Hi
I am a newbie at this and not sure if I am in the right place to get support from others, can't seem to find where you start so that you can be in touch by e-mail etc. hopefully this it?
Anyway, I was diagnosed with lung cancer (small cell type) in February and have had 3 sessions of chemo and Radio therapy. The shock of the diagnosis is just unbelievable and although but i think I am now through the worst of that, I find some days really hard to stay positive and not sink into bout of depresion. My prognosis is good, but to be honest what does that mean? My husband and I retired to France 21/2 years ago and we lovel it over here, but my French is not brilliant so that does not help, although my consultant does speak resonably good English, which is a blessing. I am due another session of chemo begining of June and then sometime after that will be the CT scan to see how I am doing - as it approaches I find myself worrying about it more, although I am trying to take each day as it comes. How does everyone else deal with their darkest moments, tips/hints would be really helpful.
Looking forward to hearing from people so I don't feel so alone.
Bea
