Hi l have just been diagnosed with lung cancer on Thursday so had a visit from nurse today so talked about my medication etc then jumped straight in with do you want to go to hospital later on or have you thought about it.Myself thought it was a bit soon as I only found out on Thursday

    Something similar happened to me. 
    I’d not even started chemo when a MacMillan nurse asked me if I’d like to have a familiarisation visit to our local hospice! 
    I made a joke out of it and humorously criticised her lousy timing and apparent lack of faith in my treatment plan!
