Hi Michelle sorry to hear your diagnosis and I hope your oncologist will be able to explain what's next for you.  I've not had a diagnosis yet my xray is on Monday but I'm so afraid it will be lung cancer as the pain in my upper back is not going away.  

I totally understand the anger youre feeling and you asking yourself why me I've done what I could to be healthy and looked after others but unfortunately the universe doesn't seem to care one way or the other and it all seems so unfair.

I also understand you keeping it away from your family so they don't worry but you will need everyone's support going forward.  I hope and pray that the doctors can do something for you and reaching out to this site will hopefully help too.  It's often easier to speak to strangers especially strangers who know what fear and worries you are going through.  Take care of yourself x

Hi, similar situation, I have a tumor in my lung (just found) it is 6cms so fairly big , I have pet scan on Tuesday and then bronchialoscopy the week after, I cannot contain my emotions and worry, not confirmed cancerous yet, but of great concern were the words of consultant! I am petrified tbh xxx

Sorry to hear that cazzag and I know you must be frightened.  I could tell you not to worry but I know you will its a debilitating fear and I've not even had my xray yet.

I follow a lady who was diagnosed with cervical cancer terminal and she posted yesterday they're having to change her chemo because the old ones not working but the way she looks on it is she's here TODAY. And you have to focus on each day and not let the fear steal your time so that's what I'm trying to do *often unsuccessfully) please remember youre not alone. If you need to chat aim here x
