Scared - 44 years old and newly diagnosed with cancer

I've just been diagnosed with lung cancer , I'm 44 never smoked dont drink why me. I had kidney cancer last year and had one removed, it has now spread to the adrenal gland on my other kidney and now have spots on my lungs I'm soo scared. I have two kids and a wife that I don't want to leave behind.

  • I'm really sorry to hear your cancer has spread Wes and you've now been diagnosed with lung cancer.

    I know this must be very scary but I hope it helps to know that many of our members have been in similar situations, so they will completely understand what you're going through at the moment and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and advice.

    I can see you've posted in our nurses section of the forum as well. As they don't work over the weekend, you will receive a reply from them next week but you can also speak to them on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to ease your mind and answer any other questions you may have at this time.

    We're thinking of you Wes and sending all their strength and support your way.

    Kind regards,
