Hello everyone
I have decided to join the forum, as I been diagnosed stage 4 lung cancer. I have battled with breast cancer 6times since 1989. Now the cancer decided to move to the lung and renal area. This time I feel so different, scared and feel very afraid. My oncologist put me on chemotherapy, after 2 courses they had to be stopped due to blood count issues.
waiting now for CT scan in January plus see my oncologist in the same month. I feel tiredness all the time, no energy or no interest (which is very unlike me). I hope someone replies to message as t would be very good to talk.. Best wishes everyone ️
Hi TanTanx a very warm welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. I can understand how scared you must be feeling right now. My cancer started in my womb, and is now in my lungs. The 2nd time around was definitely harder than the first.
It is hard to say whether you are feeling tired and have a low mood due to the disease, or because of the anxiety around the diagnoses, which is completely understandable. I get very tired, but there are also days when I just don’t want to do anything at all, and I spend the day on the sofa. It is hard to get motivated some days, and I really have to force myself.
Waiting for CT’s and results are always hard. It is impossible not to think about that and worry. We are always here if you need to chat. X
