Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us.
A cancer diagnosis can indeed bring a lot of stress, confusion and questions, but from my experience talking with people who are on the same journey can help a lot.
I see you have found our Lung Cancer Forum, this is the best place for you to connect with people who understand the journey you are on. You can ask the folks questions about tests, treatments and what to expect during the months ahead.
Follow the link above and go to the 'Start a Discussion' tab just under the main group name and set up your own Discussion and introduce yourself to the group - you could just copy an paste what you have in this first post.
You may find our various Macmillan Support Line Services to be helpful - call them on 0808 808 00 00This free service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link.
We also have our ‘Ask an Expert’. section where you can post questions to our mostly Volunteer Experts but please allow 2 working days to get a reply.
Our Online Information and Support Section is a good place to find information covering cancer diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.
Talking to people face to face can help a lot so check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Supportin your area or a Maggie’s Centre as these folks are amazing.
All the very best.
Yes, it’s all about getting a clear understanding as to what is involved, how long it takes.
The Lung Group is a good place as you can talk with folks who have walked the walk.
All the best.
