I was diagnosed with soft cell cancer on Christmas Eve and stayed in Hospital for a couple of days. It was a very scary and lonely time for me due to COVID I was unable to have comfort from my family.
I started my first Chemo for 9 hours within a week of diagnosis.
I am struggling with my emotions at the moment but know I must remain positive and strong
Hi and a warm welcome to the Online Community, a Community that no one really looks to see themselves joining, and so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It is scary and made more so due to the challenges of COVID.
A cancer diagnosis brings confusion, stress and many questions but I found talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helped a lot.
The Community is organised into support groups and I see you have joined our supportive Lung Cancer group as this is the place where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as patient or family.
