  • I have been diagnosed with lung cancer too. It a whirlwind of scans and hospital appointments.  Take one day at a time. It helps to stop you being overwhelmed. At least it's been found, and be treated.  I am going for a lobectomy week.  They are taking a segment of my out, that has the tumor in. Hopefully, the cancer will be gone after. I hope surgery can get rid of yours too. The biopsy wasn't as bad as I thought. You will feel better when scans are done. You will know what your dealing with. It is worrying, try not to let it overwhelm you. I found being out of control scary. I'm sure you will feel the same. Stay positive because there are a lot of new treatments for lung cancer. You are not alone. Wishing all the best and positive vibes.
