Hi,
I have recently been diagnosed, having had much of my left lung removed! Being a keen cyclist this has been difficult. I am still waiting to see my hospital team in September once my chemotherapy finishes.
Hi Old cyclist and welcome to the Online Community. I'm sorry to read of your recent diagnosis and sympathise with how difficult this news must have been for you as a keen cyclist.
My cancer is different, but a cancer diagnosis of any kind makes us ask lots of questions, causes confusion, stress and probably emotions we’ve never experienced before. I see you’ve joined our Neuroendocrine cancer group, this will be a good place to connect with others making the same type of cancer journey. It might also be a good idea to join our Lung cancer group as you'll also receive support there.
It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep writing the same thing over and over. You can amend or update it at any time.
To find more information covering diagnosis and treatments there are pages covering most types of cancers which can be found on our Online Information and Support Section.
The Macmillan Support Services also offer lots of information, support, financial guidance or just someone to listen. It’s free to call 0808 808 0000. Most services are available 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. Have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two to three working days for replies from our expert team.
Sending you welcoming hugs B xx
