  • Hi  welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. I can relate to how you are feeling right now, getting a cancer diagnoses is a very scary time. The early days of tests, scans biopsies and all of the waiting that goes along with this for results, can be very stressful. 


    I will pop a link below to a very helpful information sheet that also has information on there for friends and family.

    Lung cancer treatment has come such a long way in recent years. Many of us here are incurable but treatable. Hold on to fact that you can live with lung cancer on treatment, and have a reasonable life. I don’t know what stage you are at with your diagnoses, but let us know what treatment you will be on, and I am sure there will be someone here to share their experience with you.
