Hi -- I've been diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung cancer - non small cell Adenocarcinoma in one lung, which has spread to the other lung and also the sacrum. After having repeat biopsies I'm at last booked in to see the oncologist in 3 weeks' time. On that day it will have been exactly 4 months since I first talked to the GP about it, and I'm very anxious about how long it's all taking - if anyone has similar experience of these time frames, I'd be grateful to hear how you dealt with it. I'm feeling more rattled every day. Actually that's not accurate - it's more like I'm up and down like a yoyo. Anyone has anything at all to say, even just hello, I'm all ears.
