Dear All a few months go I covered a part of myself having to deal with lung cancer spreading once more. It’s becoming a little more difficult each time I have to add a bit more on. Unfortunately this time it’s more than a bit. I was called last Friday by my onc who wanted to change to a face to face. As I was feeling pretty unwell at the time i asked to complete over the phone and he readily agreed after pointing out how bad this conversation as going to be. He wasn’t wrong. So 8 years and 8 months on from the very first time I was told I had cancer I am now I have it worse than ever
it has now spread to my chest nodes, my right armpit lymph nodes, more of my right lung and a sizeable chance into my right adrenal gland area.
To say I am overwhelmed somehow seems inadequate but what else is there to say. Any insightful tips on what I might want to grab a hold of and read will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Hello mummy. I am so very sorry to hear of your disease progression. Of course no one knows how long any of us have got but if your worry is about the very end then there is a book loads of us on hear have read.
It is called ' with the end in mjnd' I believe by Katherine Mannix.
It will certainly take some huge worries off of your mind.
If there are other reads to help you cope with what is happening at the moment then I am sure others will suggest them.
Best wishes,
Xx

Hi Mummyb, I was so sad to read your post and am sorry you are now in that position. I would also recommend the book mentioned by Norberry and think it may help with any fears you have. Please remember we are here for you!
