Hi everyone I’m new to this so please be patient, was diagnosed in November 2018 with lung cancer that had spread to right adrenal gland and lymph nodes in chest. They said it was T3 N2 M1b adenocarcinoma not sure what all that means but things getting harder generally. I’m on my own and depression also there too. Any help advice would be greatly appreciated thanks 

  • Hi  welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. All of us here in the group are either living with lung cancer, or are caring for someone who is, so we all understand the struggles both physically and emotionally. It may be worth looking to see if you have any local support groups near by which may help with being alone. You can check if Macmillan have any groups in you local area by clicking on the link below.

    If you have a maggies. close to you, they also have support groups. 

    People think that we because we have been living with this disease for so long, that we are OK and dealing with things well. But the truth is, it is very stressful to know that we do have cancer, and we do not know what tomorrow will look like. It is good to remember that we do have good days, and try and concentrate on those rather than the down days.
