Hi all, I have just joined group. I have been diagnosed with lung cancer it has spread to my liver so only treatment is chemo. I had my first session last Thursday, up to now have been fine (no sickness) I am going on holiday a week on Saturday as my daughter is getting married in Cyprus I will have to wait extra week for next treatment but wedding is keeping me positive.

I am Mike Thehighlander and I help out on the Community and I will do my best to direct you to the best place for you to find the support and the help you need. On my long journey I found the best way to navigate the various challenges that a cancer diagnosis brings was by talking with people who are on the same journey.
My cancer journey was rather different even although I did also have lung issues but if you follow this link https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer_types/lung-cancer/ to our Lung Cancer Forum you will be able to connect with people who understand the journey you are on.
