I’m a 40 year old single full time nanna to my 3year old grandson and have recently just been diagnosed with lung cancer. I am due to begin an aggressive course of chemo and radio therapy treatment for a period of 6weeks, the chemotherapy is once a week and the radiotherapy is everyday. My team of doctors are confident that they can get rid of the tumours and hopefully I will be cancer free. I’m understandably very anxious and scared but I’m doing my best to stay positive and I’m determined to remain strong & be as normal as possible for my grandsons sake so he experiences as little disruption as possible. 

  • Hi nanna81 welcome to the group but sorry you find yourself here. You are bound to feel anxious, the fear of the unknown is a terrible thing. Once you start your treatment and settle into a routine you will start to feel less anxious. xx
