Hello everyone, I’m new to this community, last week my wife was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer, and she isn’t strong enough to have chemotherapy, we’re going to the hospital today for a planning scan for radiotherapy, to see her so ill breaks my heart, the whole family try to act as though everything is the same as before the diagnosis, I’m just wondering how other people cope in this situation.
Hi Tonyshp, sorry you have found yourself here, but welcome to the group. I’m an incureable lung cancer patient, I’ve not had chemo, but I have had radiotherapy. If there’s any questions you or your wife might have regarding radiotherapy, then there are a few of us here who have had it. As to how do we cope? For me I think it’s easier once you have a plan and the treatment has started. We all deal with it differently. I’m quite an open book, so I told everyone that I had cancer, and I think it was better to do that and get it out the way. In my house, we talk a lot, but some people prefer not to talk about their condition. My partner has been my rock and has been with me every step of the way. I hope the radiotherapy planning went well today.
