Hi, I'm new to this community, my mum has lung cancer, newly diagnosed & is going through tests, we don't know what stage yet & because she has held everything in she had a big break down & is so scare & I am finding it so hard to not break down & support her, I live with her & have cared for her with her other conditions but the thought of losing her breaks my heart & sometime I just feel so alone x
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read that your mum has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and it's no surprise that she is scared. Although I didn't have the same type of cancer as your mum I can remember only too well how I felt when I was diagnosed.
As the community is divided into groups can I recommend that you join the very friendly lung cancer group as this will give you the opportunity to ask questions and share experiences with others who have this type of cancer.
You may also like to join the carers only group which is a safe and supportive place to share your worries and concerns.
To join either or both of these groups just click on the links I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the pages that open. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute it, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your mum's journey so far into your profile as it really 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.
Sending a supportive ((hug))
