Lung cancer diagnosed 2 weeks ago

I was diagnosed with lung cancer 2 weeks ago which has spread to adrenal glands and bones. I am struggling to come to terms with this nightmare and am in pain a lot of the time. I am so angry and resentful and feeling sorry for myself, saying "why me"  . It was only 7 months ago that my husband died from a brain tumour and I was still getting over that. I am 61. How can I find the strength to deal with this?

    We're pleased to see that SUE B now has someone like you josie86 to talk to, someone who can really understand what she is going through. It is great Josie that your mum is very strong and she is lucky to have your support.

    We would just like to point out that laetrile, also known as amygdalin or 'vitamin B17' is found in apricot pips and bitter almonds and has been described as a highly active compound that can cure cancer. Unfortunately this is simply not true. This page on our website about Laetrile explains this in more detail. Many internet sites advertise and promote laetrile as a treatment to cure cancer. But no reputable scientific cancer organisations support any of these claims. Our advice is to be very cautious about believing this type of information or paying for any alternative cancer therapy over the internet. I hope this helps!

    Very best wishes,
