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.
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.

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.
