Hi, I am all new to this.
I am awaiting biopsy results on a growth in my left lung. I don't really understand all the medical terms and am feel a bit lost in the entire process.
I went to the doctor in August with an annoying cough they I thought they would say was the start of asthma or reflux and after every test I think they have and cameras up down and sideways, plus more blood taken than I have in my entire life, here we are at the end of October with trips to London and doctors telling me I am going to loose half my lung.
My family have been as supportive as they can saying its all been caught early and I will be fighting fit by the new year.
I was already struggling with my mental health as I am currently going through a divorce, but this has completely floored me.
I am not sure what the purpose of my post is other than to reach out to anyone that might understand.
Thank you for reading if you got this far. x
Hi Cbod8c61ed welcome to the online community, but I am sorry you have been given this news. My name is Chelle, and I am the community champ for the Lung cancer forum if you click on the link it will take you to the group where you will meet other members with a similar diagnoses to yourself.
Being told you have lung cancer is very scary, and I know how worried you are about having surgery. Lung cancer treatment has come such a long way in recent years, and surgery is the best option for a cure. You will meet people in the lung group who have had surgery and they will be able to reassure you about the procedure.
When you come over to the lung group, you can just copy and paste your post from here to introduce yourself if you like, so you don’t have to write it out again. I’ll keep an eye out for you there to welcome you to the group.
