New member and a bit lost.

You have reached a very lovely group, where none of us want to be members, but are grateful for the support of others who understand a little of what we're facing.  You certainly have a very difficult time to get through, if you're going through a divorce as well as facing a new diagnosis of lung cancer.  This is very sad and challenging for you, so you're allowed to be floored.  Please feel free to ask us anything - there are some clever people here who can explain things we don't understand.  I think the worst time in the cancer journey, as it were, is before a definite treatment plan has been developed for you by your doctors.  All the tests, and all the procedures .... it can feel like you're on a factory conveyor belt, or a merry go round where you can't get off.  I found that googling each long word or medical term helped me a lot.  Personally, the more I learned the easier it was for me to accept where I was and face it squarely.  Lovely that you have a supportive family - it's good if you can lean on them, find ears to listen, and remember to try and actively enjoy the small things in your life while you wait for treatment - each day is a gift. <3
