Hi all,
Today I was diagnosed with lung cancer (2cm lesion) and a (2cm lesion in my L4 disc.
The only symptoms I have had for 7 weeks is back pain.
I am only 35, before fit and healthy, never smoked drinked or done drugs.
Anyone else know anyone in this position?
Adrian
Hi and a warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear that you've been diagnosed with lung cancer. You must be feeling very shocked right now.
Could I suggest that you join the lung cancer group where you can ask questions and get support from others who will understand what you're going through.
To join the group just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. To ask a question or introduce yourself select 'start a discussion'. You can also respond to existing posts by clicking on 'reply'.
When you feel up to it, it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

Sorry , I've just realised that you also said that you had a spinal tumour. Is this linked to the lung cancer or a separate cancer?
