Hi All - just coming to introduce myself and maybe find some people to connect with. My partner who's 46 was diagnosed with lung cancer in June. It's a complicated kind, partly small cell but also with some neuroendocrine features. It's spread to two nearby lymphs. He's having 6 rounds of chemo (two more to go) and is about to start 4 weeks daily radiotherapy. His tumour is secreting something which has caused Cushing's Syndrome (excess cortisol) which has made him pretty ill since early this year so he's under endocrinology as well as oncology.
We have two boys aged 6 and 3.
It's been really hard. The cancer, the illness from the Cushing's and the chemo, navigating all this in the middle of lockdown with two small kids.
I'd love to connect with others who can offer solidarity with any of this! xxx
