Adenocarcinoma

Hi Dancingfeet and welcome to the Macmillan Community but so sorry to hear about your concerns.

Navigating the cancer journey can be such a stressful and challenging time, I have had a few fine needle biopsies as well as surgical biopsies over my 25 years and had no problems with them…… do tell the staff your concerns as they will be able to help you out.

This New to Community area is like our reception desk where we look to direct you to the best part of the Community for you to get support.

The Community is actually divided into dedicated Cancer Support Groups (Discussion Rooms)………… and if you care to have a look through THIS LIST you will find all our dedicated cancer support groups listed.

These groups are safe places to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support from members who are navigating the exact same journey.

Have a look through the LIST above and once you find the support group for your cancer type....... click on the link and when the group page opens you will see a [Black - Click to Join - Banner] at the bottom of the page, click in this box and this will then confirm that you have joined the group.

When you are ready……. you can introduce yourself by putting up your very own post by clicking [+ Create new post] or [+] in the top right of the group page.

The Macmillan Support Line is open between 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00…… this service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear.

Talking to people ‘face to face’ can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.

Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.

Hi Potstip ….. how can I help you?

Hi , l have just joined the forum in the hope someone out there have started a similar journey to mine. Just been diagnosed with ADENOCARCINOA T1B NoMo; and it’s scarring me a little; since my specialist is talking and removing the effecteted part of the lung, 6-8mm in size.
