New Warrior: my respiratory infection is actually cancer

Hi everyone thank you for letting me join. Today I got the devastating news that my respiratory infection is actually cancer. Trying hard to stay calm while I wait to see the oncologist for full results and treatment. Any advice on the anxiety and dealing with it would help x

  • Do you have a date to see the oncologist?
    While I was waiting and wondering,I posted on here and just to know that others were replying and they were reading and understanding did help me. Keep writing to us.

    Thinking of you.

  • Thank you so much. I am just waiting on an appointment obviously my Dr has been in touch via email with them and hopefully I will have an appointment late next wk. Trying not overthink things but it literally came out of the blue. Doing deep breathing exercises and I hope that my anxiety will settle down. I know that everyday people get this type of news and like me the fear of the unknown sets in. But I’m a fighter and will do whatever it takes xxxx
