Blogging

Hi I was 30 too!! Well three months before 31 am two years on from that now. They only advice I have is don’t Google and live everyday as  if it is your last and love life because it’s to short xxxx wishing you well On your journey xx love natalie xxf

Thank you for the lovely message! That's great advice—I was diagnosed a month ago, MRI last week, and my appointment to find out treatment is next week, so knowing that you're two years on from when you were diagnosed gives me lots of hope  x

Let me know how u get on! And if u need any advice just give me a message am not on here as much as I used to be but when I am having a bad day I tend to window shop on here lol! Getting a cancer diagnosis is a massive shock but u deal with it day by day what I found is that after treatment when the appointments stop that’s the hardest part u look back and think wow did that happen to me. But u will be ok sending u love at this hard time xxxx

I love your blog xx

I was 34 when I was diagnosed and told a few times it won’t be cancer your too young so was a massive shock.  I agree don’t google things as you don’t know which information is right or up to date.  Wishing you well and we are all here for you. X

How are you xx

I will do! Thank you so much, I'll definitely keep that in mind. I agree, it's a massive shock and I'm not sure it'll ever sink in properly, but just going to take it one day at a time! I hope you got through that tough time following treatment and had lots of support—and so glad you like the blog xx

Oh gosh, how are you doing now? I agree, a massive shock, especially as everyone also kept telling me that I'll surely be fine because I'm too young. Thank you so much—did you find anything in particular that helped you get through those hardest times? x

Hey I’m actually part of the lung cancer group but somehow came across your post and your fantastic blog. I used to blog ‘back in the days’ before Instagram and Snapchat blew up and good old blogging was the thing to do. You are an amazing writer your blogpost was so well written, I’ll definitely be following along and sending you courage, hugs and prayers of good health. I’m 29 and having a lung biopsy tomorrow for abnormal growths. 
Good luck with your journey I’ll be reading it all x 

Hi PRM You can also share your experiences here on Macmillan by writing your blog here as well. Look further up the page underneath Online Community it's the 3rd tab from the left. A great many users don't use a lot of social media (myself included before I joined Macmillan) so it'll be very useful to a lot of folk here.

Hugs, Barb xx
