Hello all, thank you for allowing me to join your group, I am a 67 year old mum to 4 children and grandmother to many grandchildren, i have been diagnosed with lung cancer and started my first Chemo last Friday, i feel so alone and emotional even though i have great support around me. Should i be feeling this way?
Hi Ladyjade and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to read that you've just been diagnosed with lung cancer and of course it's normal to feel emotional, after all you've just received some distressing news.
The online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join and post in the lung cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support from others with the same type of cancer.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select '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.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
