Hi. My name is Jill I am 73. I had a left lower lobectomy in sept last year but since have been found to have nodules in my right lung. I have had 8 sessions of sabr radiotherapy which ended in march this year. I've had a bad cough ever since and wondered if anyone else has experienced this
Hi Jillr26 and a very warm welcome to the Macmillan Community but so sorry to hear about your situation going journey.
I know from experience having been on my cancer journey for over 26 years with two very rare, hard to treat types of Non Hodgkin’s Lymphomas (one incurable), Asbestosis and Prostate Cancer that navigating this journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but talking with and getting support from people who have walked or are walking the ‘exact same' journey can help a lot.
This group is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
As always the Macmillan Support Line is open between 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00…… this service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits and financial guidance or just a listening ear.
Talking to people ‘face to face’ can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.
Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.
