I have been diagnosed with lung cancer in both lungs, I had a heart attack last October which i was unaware of at the time, it resulted in heart failure, i waited 7 months for an MRI which picked up cancer, i have 2.5 cms in lower left lobe and 4mm in right lung, I have seen the the surgeon twice now who is trying to find the best way to procede with surgery as i'm such a high risk, Feeling nervous and overwhelmed, especially as i feel so well at the moment

    hello and I’m sorry you find yourself joining our group, however you will find we are all very supportive of each other.

    omg you’ve had a lot thrown at you I totally understand you feeling overwhelmed. The waiting for answers and your treatment plan is always the worst part, I know it was for me. Once you have your answers and a plan to work with things will feel much better, you’ll still be scared but at least you will be in control. You are welcome to read my profile it tells you a bit about my journey so far and it might help you understand the process..

    for now take each day and make it happy, do everything you want to do. There is always someone around on this forum to chat with and I’ve sent you a friendship request if you want to chat privately. I’m always happy to offer support when I can, lots of lovely people on here have and do support me when I need it. All you have to do is ask.

    sending you a big hug to catch and hold

    have a good day

  • Hi Elaine66 sorry you find yourself joining this group but hope you find it helpful to you …. I know I have , I’m also at the start of my diagnosis and it’s truly been overwhelmingly scary and full of tests and terminology I haven’t heard of … this group has helped during this time , just to be able to rant and tant about it all to others who understand , helps a little . It’s sounding like surgery is an option for you , which I understand is one of the best options for a curative outcome …. As Hamhat says you can read our profiles and see our stories too ,Elly x
