Diagnosed March 2020

Hi  and welcome to the Online Community and a club no-one wants to be member of. I'd never joined any sort of social group such as this before and I'm so very glad I did. To write your first post is a brave thing to do and the members of this group will reply and support you. Read through some of the posts on here, hit reply to answer or just start a new thread. 

It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep writing the same thing over and over. You can amend or update it at any time. 

To find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers can be found on our Online Information and Support Section. 

The Macmillan Support Services also offer lots of information, support, financial guidance or just someone to listen. It’s free to call 0808 808 0000. Most services are available 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. Have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two to three working days for replies from our expert team.

Sending you welcoming hugs B xx

Hello, I was diagnosed in March 2020 with lung cancer

 My doctor said I would need 5 rounds of Radiotherapy, went for it & was told all was good I'd responded well!

In May this year I found a lump in my neck, reported it to my oncologists Secretary but wasn't scanned again till 2 months latrt@

By this time ot had spread & now I need Immunotherapy which will start next week!

Everything has happened so fast, I'm drained!

Hi Ellijayne2021 welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. I am not surprised you are feeling drained. This disease is such an awful rollercoaster ride to be on. I myself am waiting for a ct scan, and worrying what they will show, it seems to be a never ending worry. 

There are a few people in the group who are on immunotherapy, and some have had some very good results from it. It isn't as harsh as chemo, but they will explain all the possible side effects with you. 

Good luck for next week, get the first one out the way, and then you will know what to expect and will be able to get into a routine. x 

Hi all, sorry I've not replied to you sooner
