Not coping. 40 brain tumours found, then I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer

Hi my name is Sam, 6 weeks ago I had terrible headache for 2 weeks, I ended up up A&E diagnosed with over 40 brain tumors in the morning after that diagnosis I was diagnosed with lung cancer, which is stage 4, I had a weeks worth of radiotherapy, loosing all my hair, the hospital wanted me to start chemo asap as I was coming up in lots of lumps, since having chemo I do not feel well at all, my mouth is so sore I cannot eat anything could anyone tell me if this is normal? The side effects are hard, does anybody know what could help with this? Thank you for any feedback much appreciated Sam

  • I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis Sam.  You have been so up front about the hurdles you face, I think this is a real sign of strength.  And you are seeking to do something about them.  There should be medication out there for each of the side effects you are experiencing so I would pin down your nurse / oncologist and get them to prescribe whatever it is you need to make life a bit easier for you.  Your sore mouth sounds entirely normal by the way - though I haven’t personally experienced it - yet - I have heard lots of conversations about it in the chemo cubicles..  I know there are mouth washes, gentle toothpaste and very soft toothbrushes available to help. The very best of luck with everything.

  • Hopecalm thank you for replying to me, I have oncology tomorrow so will hopefully get some more tablets to take, we will beat this we will be positive and strong good luck for the future and thank you so much for replying
