Hello
My name is Dee and I'm new to the group
I was diagnosed with cancer (left lung lower lobe) 6 weeks ago and having surgery on 3rd of June to have it removed. As the date is getting closer I am feeling very anxious and cannot eat or sleep properly. I keep telling myself I'll be fine but it doesn't help. I'm just not sure how to deal with the situation I hope someone can help me.
Thank you
