Husbands lung cancer, treatable but not curable.

Hi Teena71 

My wife's cancer is also incurable - well at least currently - however she responded reasonably well to the second round of chemotherapy that not only shrunk her tumours a little bit but also rahter more importantly it was rendered stable and has been that way for over 10 years now. 

Something that really helped me was a living with less stress course I did with Magges. A key element was trying to keep the focus on the day to day rather than too many what if's about futures I could not control. A quote I quite like on that front is “Worrying does not take away tomorrow’s troubles. It takes away today’s peace.”― Randy Armstrong

Anoher useful element was on conscious breathing, good for when life decides it is time to throw another curveball and also for getting some rest and relaxation.

Thanks,  for responding,  a friend of mine did say to me just focus on each day not to much in the future,  although I am trying it's still hard. I'll definitely look in to the stress course. It's good to hear you're wife has been stable for that many years,  I hope she has many more Thank you.

Hello - I was diagnosed with stage 4 Lung Cancer in July as it has spread to a vertebrae in my spine - also has gone to lymph nodes within lungs. I’ve had 2 treatments of immunotherapy and a 5 days radiotherapy course on the vertebrae. They haven’t suggested Chemo at the moment. Keeping everything crossed that the immune helps control it. I feel ok, carrying on with life as much as I can but it’s on my mind every hour during waking hours which weighs heavily at times but just taking a day at a time 

Sorry to hear this, I'm trying to be positive and just take each day, it's hard to to not think about it so I can't imagine how I'd feel if it was me in that position.
