Welcome to Cancer Chat Bimbim although I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with lung and bone cancer.
As so many of our members have found out, not knowing how to feel is completely normal Bimbim. There is no right or wrong way to feel and you may find yourself going through a whole range of emotions as you to come to terms with this very stressful and life changing event, so do be kind to yourself at this time Bimbim, and try to take things one day at a time.
I'm sorry you've had a tough start to your chemo. Everyone reacts differently, but it is common to experience some side effects from treatment. You can find out more about chemotherapy and its side effects on our website, but we also have a team of cancer nurses you can talk to on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to answer your questions and address any other worries or concerns you have about your treatment.
We're here for you Bimbim, and will be by your side on every step of this journey.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
