Hi, David, nothing is strange on here and you will be surprised how many people are accepting of their diagnosis.  I don't think it really hit me for about a year, when I first started to get pain, and I wondered if this was going to be my life from now on.   But you get used to anything with time.  Friends, relatives etc are a different kettle of fish because they feel so helpless.

I hope your treatment goes well and is better than you are expecting.  Come back and talk to us and update us on your progress.I

Hi Dave, when my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer my world and that of the kids fell apart. There were times I thought that my Husband did not care as he was saying nothing. I now know that he has accepted it as his fate. Although I feel differently because I am scared of loosing him. What I am saying is you are feeling exactly as my husband is and I am behaving like the others.  Take care G

hi David I've just been diagnosed with lung cancer this last week. And I'm the same it feels like everyone else is falling apart. Don't get me wrong I've had a couple of wobbles. But I'm doing ok I think it will get me when I have my op and all the treatment. But we shall see. X
