Dad diagnosed with lung cancer in lymph glands - heartbroken

My lovely dad has been diagnosed with lung cancer 2 days ago. I'm lost and completely broken.

The cancer is also in his lymph glands - he doesn't drink or smoke so why has this happened to him.

I can't accept or take it all in, my life has been completely shattered, I can't stop crying, not eating L,hardly sleeping and want to wake up to find this has all been a bad dream. I'm not ready nor can think about my beautiful dad not being here. He has to go to the hospital on Tuesday where they will carry out an endoscopy and have an mdt to discuss treatment, I am so angry, so hurt and completely broken, have never felt a pain like this in my life. I adore my dad

  • A very warm welcome to Cancer Chat Corina although I'm sorry to hear your dad has been diagnosed with lung cancer.

    Many of our members know how scary and difficult it can be when finding out a loved one has cancer so you are not alone and I'm sure some of our members will be along soon to offer you their support and advice.

    I hope this information we have for family, friends and caregivers will prove useful as well but if you'd like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, do give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to help.

    We're thinking of you Corina and wishing your dad all the best with his endoscopy on Tuesday.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
