Wow. What can I say!!! I started my Lung Cancer journey last January [2023]. What a scary slope I was on. The waiting for diagnosis was horrible. Not knowing what my end would be. I went through being told radiation would make me very very ill, my only choice was to have my right lung removed completely. I spent a few weeks thinking the worse things possible to be told by the surgeon he couldn't do it. He looked me in the eyes and right off the cuff he said " you won't make it. If I didn't loose you on the table I would loose you in recovery." My only option was Radical radiation therapy. A few more weeks waiting, more stress for my family. I then saw a lovely consultant who was just brilliant. Her first words to me where, "today I will see a lot of patients in the same situation as you, but you are the lucky one today". I began my radical radiation in September and finished in October. Then the wait again for scans. Finally I saw my consultant on Friday 23rd 24. The night before I couldn't sleep and my tummy was on a boat by itself. Then the results we had waited for. "YOUR CANCER HAS GONE". I still have to have scans etc., but for now it's gone. This thing can be beaten, sometimes. Never give up, never say never. To everyone just starting this journey, I wish you love and luck

Hunni, what you are feeling right now is normal. You WILL find the strength, believe me. It will creep up on you without you even being aware. My husband wanted to leave, convinced he just could notface all of this. He is still here, much stronger than he was. We all deal in different ways, but we all go through the same feelings. Wanting to run, being so angry that this is happening, hurting so much inside you think that it will never go away. They are all normal reactions we all face, as the patient and as loved ones. You will amaze yourself at just how strong you really are. You will get through this. This community is ALWAYS here to help you make the steps you have to face. It is a family, a big family of fighters all connected by one one thing. No one will ever put you down, you will never need to explain. I wish you all the love and strength on this journey, you WILL get through this. Everyone is here if you need them
