I was diagnosed in November 2024 with secondary lung cancer, it was a complete shock. I assumed it was a chest infection. I have been in hospital for the past week with a chest infection and a pulmonary embolism, heavy duty steroids have made my face swell up so I can't eat or drink properly and feel very self conscious.
I was on a 6 chemo cycle but have discovered that after the 3rd cycle it has been unsuccessful. My left lung is completely covered with the cancer still thickening. Hopefully it will be possible to try immunotherapy but the side effects scare me.
Can anyone offer any personal advice from your own experiences?
