NEW TO THIS SORT OF THING ...HELLO

Less than one minute read time.

Hello all, I have been reading a lot on this site for a while and have decided to bite the bullet and join in.  I am 36 and in July after a chest infection which turned to phnemonia was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.  I am still cant believe this has happened to me, I lost my mum to lung cancer 9 years ago so have some idea of how this will pan out.  Having said that I have had 4 cycles of chemo and feel great so at the moment feel like a bit of a fraud.  I have a fab husband who is my rock and two daughters 8 and 12 who are riding this adventure with me. 

I decided in the summer that I would cope with this horrible disease the only way I know how, lots of humour and to take it as it comes.  I would love to hear from anyone, I have threaterned to return to work in the near future as I am no domestic godess and I am making the house look untidy sitting around all day.

Bye for now

Helen

    Hi, glad you found us when you needed to.Welcome.

    I think trying to stay positive and cheerful is a great way to deal with things. I try and do that too.

    Obviously we all have down days, but on the whole I try and carry on as before as best I can.

    Take care, love and hugs. Debbie. xx
