I was diagnosed with pan coastal lung tumour also in my rib and lymph nodes just over a year ago, i dont know much about it as i havent wanted to know too much.i also had a brain tumour
Thankfully on my.last 3 scans it hasnt grown .i had radiotherapy which wasnt too bad. I had approx 18 sessions.
I also broke my pelvis with falling all the time, i take cbd and im sure its helping. I dont have many.bad days like i used to do.
Im 55 and they said its treatable not curable..
I havent really talked to anyone about it but feel i might need to as i do get days when im feeling very down.
I dont have much family but thankfully have very good friends. But i hope to find some calming positive people on here who might help me.
Thank you
Hi and a warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community, a Community that no one really plans to see themselves joining, and so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and ongoing issues.
Although I have a different type of cancer I am also ‘treatable but incurable’, I was told this back in 1999 so I have had years to get my head round it and learn to live with my cancer, not be controlled by my cancer.
A 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.
