Where do i even begin? My dad was diagnosed with Lung cancer on 19th November 2020. We had a fantastic christmas and new year. Dad in January (this month) started struggling with his breathing and on Monday he had a bad episode where he couldn’t catch his breath. He informed the nurses as they said he had low oxygen levels. 

Dad never knew how aggressive his cancer was and he didn’t want to know what stage it was at which i respected this. Dad started his immunotherapy in january and had his second treatment on Tuesday. Unfortunately i was not able to be with him for 48hrs due to radioactive stuff as i am currently 5 months pregnant. 

Today i found my dad. ( i wont go into detail ) but he looks peaceful. I really miss him and being pregnant is super hard too. I feel so lost he was my best friend someone i would always call when iGreen hearteeded him. I would he at his house in a heartbeat. he was my world. I guess i am writing this to say if you have a loved one who has cancer its ok to get upset you can get through it together, spendGreen hearts much time with that person as you can as you never know when there last day would be Blue heart

    Good morning lovely people. 

    2nd CT scan on 17 April this tear (R upper lobectomy Dec. 2022) recent scan has shown my middle lobe is compressed. Having bronchial lavage on the 23rd May. Letter to GP from consultant described it as possible middle lobe syndrome,  GP unsure what this is. Regular chest infections but one in December this year & a few weeks ago really floored me. Throat is quite raw & my voice is quite hoarse. Anyone able to suggest any ideas on what's going on with me ?
