Lung Cancer

I feel exactly like that. I started immunotherapy by tablets last Autumn and have been very up and down since. I’m on a different one now which seems to suit me better alive not had any scans yet. We’ve come away for 2 nights in a hotel, not very far away for the first time in 11 months. It’s strange but wonderful. I just keep expecting it all to collapse on us again. We should live each day as it comes so I’m trying!

Thanks for taking the time, especially as your away for your first trip, we had a few days away in may, it really was fantastic to get away from it all, appointments, hospital, work, it felt like we had no worries for a few days and life was normal again ( if life was ever normal before) I'm glad a different treatment is working better for you and I hope your scans are positive news for you too,  " it's strange but wonderful" I'm keeping that one, thank you. 

I do not very often come on here, i am in the incurable group.

I am the one with stage 4 lung cancer, from  day one, i know how you are both feeling.

It is a roller coaster, and i told all my family and husband treat me as normal and life goes on, so we have as a family carried on, as normal.

 like nothing is different, i only ask for help if i need it.

Unfortunately i lost my husband to cancer, eight months after i finished three years of treaament.

I have still carried on as normal with more jobs to do, i have become a gardner, never done in my life.

When you get that diagnosis you think it is the end of the world, but the world does not stop.

Always had a positive attitude, and i was diagnosed March 2016. so that is seven and a half years nearly, so never give up.

Different treatments s coming out all the time.

I wish you all the easiest roller coaster ride, and that is what it is, xx 

Hi,  I have just recently been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I was in denile, when they first told me I had cancer, but had it confirmed on Tuesday.  My head is all over the place.

I'm trying to be positive,  but everything seems to take so long. I'm due to start immunotherapy in 3 weeks.  I haven't really come to terms with things.

I have told my family and we are all numb and don't really know how to feel.

It's good to hear how others are feeling.

Take care everyone

Hi immunotherapy is the new way forward, i started on chemo then immunotherapy was licensed by nice and i had it for two years, Stay positive your in control not the cancer, was my attitude.

Early days for you, but you can do this, you fill how every one does when first diagnosed,'xx

I've only joined this group a few days and I am really humbled how hearing your stories helps. 

To know your not alone in this fight and how strong people really are.

it really is amazing the treatment options and how they manage your symptoms, my husband's only been on it a few months but all his signs are good, 

Stay strong xxx
