I have terminal lung cancer I'm receiving palliative care, does anyone else in this situation have down times like me, I have just played out my funeral in my mind from start to finish like an outsider looking in and reduced myself to tears from sadness and anger that this is happening to me. I've been pretty strong so far throughout all this.

What can one say to someone who has been given this diagnosis ? I can just express how very sorry I am for you and your family .

sorry i hadnt quite finished my post . my father was given a terminal lung cancer diagnosis and for me as his daughter i nursed him at home and made sure he knew how much I loved him . He did not wish to talk about his funeral and I didnt push this with him , I just picked up on his better days and observed his bad days .

My story is exactly the same I feel like I'm dreaming, I didn't even know what palliative care is, I've been looking for something to wear for my funeral, it's not a dream it's a bloody nightmare
