Small cell lung cancer

Hi guys

Been to see oncologist today. They've given me 2-3 months a bit longer with treatment but it is so aggressive, and it's spread either bones or liver as bloods taken has come up with something.....

As I first put on here, I don't feel anything and I still don't. Everybody is falling apart and I don't know what to say to them.....I feel awful fir not being able to cry or anything or comfort family and friends? 

I don't know what to do?

  • Just be. Sufficient to the needs of the moment. You are not responsible for the feelings of others, though I share your feeling the need to be so.

    And so let others similarly just be. Sufficient to the needs of the moment.

     

    Regards

    Taff.

  • Hi 

    am very sorry for your news. My mum was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer 2 weeks ago, so as a family member I can relation you them, but what ya feeling is the Same as my mum, my mum very matter of fact and either putting a brace face on or it's not properly sank in yet. 

    I feel helpless my mum without treatment will have weeks or few months at best, they can say how long with, my mum still deciding about having treatment she on steroids at moment to build her up and hopefully increase her appetite which up till now ain't working, best of luck xx

  • Hi, that's what they told me. My appetite is zero, I'm on that many tablets now I don't know what they are for. I can relate the way your mom is feeling, I thought it was just me. I don't know how old your mom is, I'm 48, so you'd think I'd be in bits, what with another granddaughter on the way at the end of the year, but I just say what will be, will be

    Thanks for reply Di
