So I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer & Superior Vena Cava Compression October 2020, after receiving Chemotherapy and losing my hair & confidence I then had Radiotherapy & Immunotherapy until June 2021 when my Oncologist said the cancer has spread and I needed more chemotherapy which started 3 weeks ago, I have now just lost my hair for the second time in a year and I’m devastated, I had just started socialising again with friends, I have no family and now feeling isolated again, to think this is how I’m going to now spend the few remaining months of my life just feels so sad, I’m only 61 and gave up smoking 20 years ago when I lost my sister to cancer. This disease is so cruel and I know I’m not the only one going through this but it’s so difficult being on my own with cancer.
Hi Daisyydoo welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. I am so sorry to hear you are having to go through chemotherapy again. Losing your hair for the 2nd time must be very hard. I am sorry you are struggling with all this at the moment, and are feeling isolated from your friends. I hope you are able to keep in contact via the phone.
You are right, this disease is cruel, and we all here know how that feels. There is always someone here to chat with, or you can call the Macmillan support line on 0808 808 00 00 they are available 7 days a week from 8am until 8pm.
