Hi, you’re not alone in finding the waiting very challenging. My journey started on the 10th February and finally now I have a treatment plan for the removal of the top half of my right lung and maybe chemo afterwards. Now I’m waiting up to 6 weeks for the actual operation. In the meantime I’ve been living my life as normally as I can. Initially distraction by watching tv box sets was a great help. Since then I’ve been doing most of the things I normally do. I’m retired so help look after my youngest grandchildren 2 days a week after school. Since the cancer has been confirmed I’ve stayed away from busy places as far as I can as I don’t think Covid would be very helpful right now. I know I’m ‘high risk’ and would be able to have anti-virals but I don’t want the operation put off if I can do anything to help myself.

These days there are lots of treatments available but in the meantime switching off has been my best plan. I wish you all the best xx

I'm so sorry for the news that you've had , I either you the very best outcome.will pray for you....ty for responding x

Thank you for that Quilly. I hope you’ll have some answers soon. You really don’t sound trivial at all. It helps to share your feelings as well. I use both this site and Roy Castle Lung cancer sites for both emotional help and asking about treatments etc. I’ve also phoned the nurses here a couple of times when I’ve been in a panic. You do a really difficult job as you’re caring for others. Please be kind to yourself as it’s a very challenging time. Love xx
