Well here I am living with incurable cancer this is so surreal yet so real! I only had the panic attacks and total fear for about two weeks after being told, I suppose you could say I was lucky in that respect. I woke up one morning two weeks after being told and the panic had gone, I was at peace, don't know how it happened but it did. I was now on a mission to fight this disease and to live my life like I should have been living it for that last 50 years!
I have researched how I can help...
Right up the moment he died, I still held out hope that he would come round and beat the cancer.....and then he went, surrounded by our children and three of our grandchildren and I was holding his hand.
What to do now.... not in practical terms, but how do I begin to believe it and function on any level. The pain is raw, I am getting worse, bursting into tears the minute I wake from a drug induced sleep, following myself around the house, forgetting what I am supposed to be doing.
My family are...
Well so far, my 78 year old dad has been diagnosed with secondary lung cancer. not sure where its coming from but no ones dealing with it. Hes been for his first chemo today, which got postponed as he had tonsilitis last week.

Can’t say I’m terribly impressed with the nurses at the hospital clinic;
I've been pondering over a few things lately. To sum up, I feel like I've lost my mojo since mum's diagnosis, safe to say all of us have to some extent.
I am fine, and feel like I am coping much better, but this big shadow hanging over us all does bring me down sometimes. I almost feel guilty for going out and having fun, and am on the edge of tears some days. Andy took me to the pub last night and we drifted into a discussion about the current situation and how we were all feeling,...
Hi all . I often joke about my cancer and my mortality find it funny have a good laugh then find I've I've offended a perfectly healthy person. I think that is funny in itself . I've always been that way though and I can't change now I've got terminal lung cancer with various mets around my body. I just can't bite my tongue sometimes especially at work when people have had time off for headaches a cold where they force a sneeze about once at work or they loudly blow their nose to show just how ill...
Just coming to the end of a 23 day "rest period" and start back on chemo tablets on Good Friday - so I will be asleep for most of Easter. I will have a mri scan this Thursday to see how things are going. Looking forwards to hearing the result - which hopefully will be positive. If not, I will just have to deal with it. You can be a control freak, but there are things you can not control.
