Sad news

I've been given 6-12 months to live after a CT scan showed the middle right lung lobe no longer exists, the bottom lobe is only partly there and the top is hazy due to it not receiving enough oxygen,  the tumour is situated right in the middle of all 3 lobes so I'll be living with one lung that also has tumours in.

    Oh my... so so sorry, you get that news we all dread .. 

    I hope you have good family and support around you ... my niece got the same diagnosis a couple years back .. she took time to come to terms with everything... then she started to make the most of every day .. she wanted to leave her amazing family some good memories and she did ...

    We've had lots of cancer in our family ( me included) and know we all have to make the most of it, even though we have down days too .. it's o.k sometimes not to feel o.k ... so know your not alone .. many have been where you are now and many will follow ... 

    Cancer is so crule it wants us to give up, and let it win ... well stick two fingers up to cancer and make the rest count ... sending you a vertual hug... Chrissie x

    Thank you for your reply. 

     

    I only have my partner for support, I'm not close with my mother or siblings but it's ok because I'm used to going alone anyway. 

     

    This disease does Indeed suck , I had so many plans too like visiting New York and Orlando but I'm no longer allowed to go on a airplane or boat, so that's now out of the question , we are looking into local placed to visit , maybe places I've wanted to visit etc but to be honest I'm just too tired to want to do anything :-( 

    Getting up to walk into the kitchen can make me breathless,  talking makes me cough .

     

    My partner as lots of memories of me but I know they are struggling
