Hi everyone
I am new to this group and not to sure how to use this yet!
But I was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in May 2019.
since then the cancer has spread to my stomach and bones. I have tried several different types of chemo and also immunotherapy. I have now taken the decision to have no more treatment as the last lot was very harsh and made no difference to the cancer. I have decided on quality of life rather than quantity now. I am under palliative care but have loads of questions so hopefully this group will help!
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, a Community that no one ever really plans to see themselves joining, and so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
A terminal cancer diagnosis brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot.
I had a totally different type of cancer but the Community has various support groups so can I direct you to our Living with incurable cancer - incurable patients only group as this is the place where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as a patient or family.
