Hello. I’m nervous to write. My husband has just been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. We are so scared of what is going to happen next.
Hi Bluey52 welcome to the group, but sorry to hear about your husband. It is so scary when a loved one receives a cancer diagnoses.
There are so many tests and scans that need to be done before any treatment plan can be looked at, and this always seems like a lengthy process.
You need to look after yourself whilst you are your caring for your husband. There are support groups here in the online community you can join, Carers only forum Is a very supportive group you can join where you can talk to other people in a similar situation to yourself.
