Hi everyone I have very bad copd and emphysema and on the 19th of December was diagnosed with primary lung cancer so it hasn’t spread so I can’t understand why I’m feeling so breathless I think I’ve become worse since I was diagnosed? Is it all in my mind do you think? Am I thinking I’m worse than what I am actually am? I could always cope with my copd and emphysema so is the primary lung cancer making everything worse? But I’ve looked on the net and it says that “there’s no pain or symptoms with primary lung cancer “ so why have I got them? Or is it all in my head? I’m on medication for depression and anxiety and have been since 1999 ? And my depression and anxiety has become worse or is that all in my head? Am I making my self worse? I don’t understand any of this how can I stop myself from being poorly and make my self back to normal again and how do I get back in control again? I don’t feel I’m in control anymore and I need to be in control again, my head is just buzzing with different things and sleep that’s all I seem to do is sleep, I’ve no energy, I feel a failure to my family and myself I’ve got no get up n go and I want my get up n go back . I’m so sorry for going on because I know everyone on here is in a dreadful place take care everyone love Yvonne x
Hi. Sorry you’re suffering with anxiety and talking here is a good place to release the stress
I had a different cancer and now have investigations for lung
Since I’ve had the Lung Function test and consult I have tightening and aches in my chest. Before I was fine. So is it I’ve just noticed something is there or has it always been there
For me I’m in flight or fight mode exactly how I was with bowel cancer. When I had that diagnosed I had pain everywhere and was convinced it was spreading
It’s a frightening place to be and I think we all feel that way
Once the medics take over and sort us out we will be less anxious about it
Macmillan offer six free counselling sessions which may help
Hope you have a better day today.
