Hi,

I have been recently diagnosed with lung cancer. I am 33, recently married and was looking at starting a family soon. I was not expecting this. :( Does anyone ever. Just wondering if there is anyone in the community who is of a similar age going through this who I could chat to.

  • If you are on Facebook there is a group I'm on Lung cancer UK. There are a lot of younger people on that. Good luck and big hugs xxx

  • Hi there I’m not in your age group but wanted to say I’m sorry to see you here at this age … a cancer diagnosis at any age is just devastating but I feel for you .. sorry you find yourself here … I hope you find someone to chat to but you can always chat on here if you want to. Elly x

  • Hiya Jay89.

    Sorry you find yourself here and you will finder are a very supportive group no matter your age. Cancer is not choosy when it come to choosing someone to attack any age will do. We all know how your feeling and we will all provide support. If you want to know a bit about my journey just tap on my avatar and you can read my story so far.

  • Hi Jay!

    I am on a very similar situation. I am 33 years old, got married on 3rd September and got hospitalised on the 27th September... Got my cancer diagnosis 2 weeks after that. My husband and I were looking to start a family this year, but life had other plans for us. I am currently doing Chemotherapy at the Macmillan center in London and once that's over I will probably be starting radiotherapy.
