Diagnosis

Bless you what a journey you are on so glad the you have reach out to people who are in a similar boat this lung cancer boat . I find talking to others here helps me . I had a  xray then a scan that showed something suspicious from there a pet scan then a biopsy. Now I have my operation date to have a lobotomy. I wish you strength faith to take you through the next phase of your journey.

Thankyou for your kind words Dito,yes I find this site comforting although my family’s been loving and caring until your in this position it’s hard to fully understand xx

Seldom raise a smile when I read a post on here, but I think you meant to type lobectomy but no worries we know what you meant with your kind words x

Hello Robert1, what a shock  share the same outcome as you , had a curable cancer removed in August last year  now i am  diagnosed  with cancer in left lung and two other tumours in other organs.We were called in at 7pm at night to see a surgeon I have just recently seen an oncologist  and undergone SABR to one lung.  I hope your Treatment proceeds more quickly if only to reduce the worry for you & your wife. I wake up each morning  thinking how have I gone from  managing my health to being seriously ill  what about you? I wish you every best wish as you go through the next  part of your journey.    

All the best with this new journey Robert, tough times mate, stay strong, thoughts are with you and your family.

Thanks I’m just looking forward to Tuesday and my biopsy and hopefully my oxygen level stays up,but I feel much better today 

My family have been shocked devastated at my results they are all trying to support me, but I get so much comfort hearing how people on here cope where they are on this cancer journey. Like you I feel only those who have walked this path can fully understand. Stay strong be positive. 

Just made me laugh what a plonker I am 

As long as we can still laugh m8

Hi Robert, exactly the same for me, bit of a cough and then a small lump on my collarbone, 2 weeks later diagnosed with small cell lung cancer, it is in my right lung and contained within my chest cavity a cluster of lymph nodes, I am 56 and about to start chemo and immunotherapy on Thursday, my partner and I feel very alone and very despondent as after seeing the oncologist we are being told inoperable and best case scenario is maybe 12-18 months to live, with all the chemo etc to come it feels so pointless and I feel as though I may as well just give up now, no positivity at all from the NHS even though I have heard of people lasting 3 or 4 years, it would have been nice to know if that was a possibility however remote.
