My father passed away this april from stage 4 nsclc at 64 years old, and now i have been diagnosed with same stage 4 nsclc wit metastasis to liver and spine. I'm 26 years old i have so many dreams and plans for the future i can't belive this is hapening. I have a brother sister and mother and we have been watching my dad battle with this illness go through excruciating pain and then succumb with it and it devasted us. I haven't told any of them yet they don't have a clue and i don't know at all how to tell them, i feel this will absolutley destroy them. It just feels so surreal like im in this nightmare from which i can't wake up. I'm so scared, scared of pain, scared of death, scared for my family. I'm drowning and i don't know what to do
