Lung Cancer

Hi there, so sorry to hear this...it's a horrible place to do find yourself but you are not alone.

Its early days for you and you are bound to feel overwhelmed... Once it has sunk in and you have a treatment plan you will feel a little more positive. At first though it will be all you can think of so come on here and chat to others who really do know what you are going through.

I was diagnosed in July and I haven't told my parents as it would just break their hearts. I've only told a hand full of friends too... I find coming on here is the best support.

Try not to Google as the info is so out of date and everyone's cancer is different. There are so many treatments available now so please try and not to feel too despondant. The right treatment can keep things at bay or even get you into remission....so youve got to try and hang on to hope.

Im sure lots of others will respond to you as well as we all do understand just how you feel. Xxx

Hi thank you very much Elsie. i told a few people to see who would run or who would stay.

i seen some true colours lately. regards Chris

The first few days after the diagnosis are so hard. I went to pieces, I was scared, and very emotional. 

It does get a bit better with time, and accepting the bad news. 

Please try to talk to someone in your family, or a friend.... It really helps. 

You will get plenty of support and understanding on this forum. 

We know what you are going through. 

hi thank you very much . its early days i have a echo on 18th of January i guess it to see if

my heart can take what they have in store. as i have had two heart attacks and have had stents fitted.

regards Chris stay safe
