Hi I was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer last week. Just waiting to hear about treatment options and have been advised it will be chemo or immunotherapy. Remaining positive
Hi Welcome
We use the word, incurable but treatable, rather than terminal, as that is when no treatment can be given. and sounds better.
Positivity is the way to go, i was also diagnosed with lung cancer, stage 4, from day one.
Still here moaning and groaning, its not over to the fat lady sings.
I am not singing yet i can assure you.
I have done chemo, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy..
Once you find out your treatment plan, you will know which way you are going, we all get a plan.
Will be others here, that more than likely, will have been on what you are going to have, the group is a world of information, and all comes threw their own journey.
You will use this group a lot, i would not have got this far with out it.
Hi Shazzy, A warm welcome. With a positive attitude like that, you are half way there! Ellie is right, once you have your treatment plan, you will get on the rollercoaster of treatment etc and settle into what needs done.
There are a lot of us here passed our sell by date, so hopefully once your treatment starts, then kicks in, you will join us, just be patient!
Love Annette x
I don't know were the dots on my post have come from must ɓe something I've pressed by mistake. Lol. I've slept well and my new wake up time is around the 6am time. The mornings are still darkish. I'm just getting up to make coffee. Hope you all had a decent night. XX
