hi my name is brendan, i have just recovered from my second brush with lung cancer and wondering if there is anyone else out there who has been through it twice and how they cope mentally
Hi Brendan. I cannot comment on having a second brush with lung cancer I’m still dealing with the first one , but just wanted to acknowledge your post … it sounds like you’ve recovered both times but I can imagine the mental toll that took …. Would you consider counselling? It might help to talk it through perhaps if you are struggling mentally ? Macmillan offer free sessions if you speak to their helpline …. Elly x
