It is been a while since I was here, but I have just had a really scary phone call. I have developed double vision which the ophthalmologist suspects is a secondary cancer around my right eye. She is arranging an urgent scan. This has knocked me for six as I have had scarcely any symptoms from the lung cancer up to now. I do realise I may be jumping the gun but i am so afraid of going blind. I fear that more than anything so far. To make matters worse I am on my own as my sister/carer has just today gone away for a week. I wonder if anyone has been in this situation and has any advice to offer?
