Lung cancer

hi everyone

my dad has been diagnosed this week with lung cancer and I'm devastated.  I'm trying to hold it together for my mum and the family but I'm finding it difficult when I'm on my own.

We are getting the biopsy results tomorrow and will be discussing treatment etc with the consultants, I just hope and pray I can keep it together for my mum.  Its absolutely heartbreaking.

  • Hi 

    I feel your pain, my dad was diagnosed 3 weeks ago, it's so devastating and it's all you can think about 24/7, I've had to be signed off work as I can barely function. Are you sleeping? I wasn't sleeping at all as so much stuff rushing around my head. Good luck with the biopsy results xx

  • Hi Tracy my dad also has been diagnosed with lung cancer and his is terminal they have said he might not see Christmas I'm totally devastated my wife has been so supportive but how do I tell my daughter. At first I was so angry we've spent months visiting the local hospital for chemotherapy and pet scans etc now he is undergoing radiotherapy in a last ditch effort to prolong his life. We have also had to sit down and talk about his will (making one) his final wishes etc very difficult indeed nobody really knows how you feel unless you are going through it yourself. All I can say is try and stay strong and I'm praying for a good biopsy results for you. All my very best wishes to you and your family.

  • how are you coping now- i am in the same position but its my lovely husband that has this terribwl cancer- we try to make joy in every day and this helps and also get some support if there is anything locally. I hope the treatment path is defined soon- keep in touch and much love Tracey xxx
