I'm am feeling very scared and anxious at the moment.Im due another scan on Monday.and I'm praying it asnt spread.But my breathing as got a lot worse over past 3 months and it's effecting everything I do.Im spending more time at home and often avoid going out as I get so breathless after I've walked about 50 steps.and I'm terrified.I lost my son 2 years ago to a rare form of cancer and as a family we were totaly shocked as he didn't have any symptoms just a small lump which the doctor said was a cyst. I have a daughter and I havnt told her about me cos emotionaly she's not strong .and I'm afraid this could send her over the edge.esoecially after losing her brother.Im scared for her.Any advice would be appreciated.Other than my partner no one knows I had radiotherapy are that I have lung cancer.Thank you for reading.
Hi Carry on dont give up firstly I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son, that is heartbreaking for any parent.
I can understand you being scared about this up coming scan. I know you are trying to protect your daughter, but that is a hard secret for you to keep. I always find it easier to cope with things knowing all the facts, rather than finding out post the event, but I know we are all different.
Good luck for Monday, please do let us know how you get on.
