Cancer on the 'cut' - diagnosed with lung cancer recently and feeling very isolated and alone. Is anyone else going through this?

Hi anyone! 

I have recently been given a diagnosis of lung cancer. 

I am quite old and I live alone with my dog,Buddy, on a narrowboat. 

My partner Debbie passed away just before Christmas,and I have no family left . 

Finding this all very hard to understand and come to terms with. Also feel incredibly isolated and alone. 

Not looking for sympathy,but would be good to know that there are people out there who may be going through, or experienced similar things.
