New guy

Hi Rameses, it’s challenging news to take in and process at any time. I had a right lung lobectomy 9 weeks ago and have been discussing further steps last week. I hope you’ll have some treatment news in the near future. It’s the waiting and not knowing that I find so unsettling.

Wishing you all the best and hope others will be along soon to say hello. 

Thank you so much for the response.

It’s surprising how much better it makes you feel to be able to talk to other people, outside of the family, about this. 

That’s been one of my biggest issues, I can talk to my family and the medics about this but when I tell other people what happening to me that’s when I get very emotional and find it hard to deal with. 

I’m on palliative care rather than a treatment plan now but I do have strategy and a way forward with some targets in my mind to get to and things to do. 

Good luck with your treatments, hope all goes well. 
And thanks again for the reply. 

TBH, I find it difficult talking to my family about the emotional side. I find it much easy to write down my feelings but I try not to dwell. I’m glad you have a strategy for making things happen. Be kind to yourself. Xx
