Hello

just joined and popped in to say hello. I was diagnosed with stage 3lung cancer. As you can imagine I was devastated by this diagnosis as it was the last thing I thought could be causing me pain. I know I'm lucky in some ways as I have 5 sisters and a brother who are all really helpful and supportive. In addition my husband is a great support, dealing with my medication making sure I eat well etc etc. Although I've got all this support and also have friends who are not related, it will be good to chat to someone who doesn't know me. I'm just waiting for appointment with counsellor to chat about having cancer 

  • Hello Roywin and welcome to the forum :)

    I'm really sorry to hear about your diagnosis but it's great you have such a close support network around you to help you at this time. It's great you've joined as many members here have also been diagnosed with lung cancer and will understand the need of being able to talk to others in the same situation and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and share their experiences with you. In the meantime do have a look around and if you use the 'search forum' option you'll be able to find previous discussions about lung cancer and chat to members there as well.

    I hope you don't have to wait too long for your appointment with a counsellor and that it goes well when the time comes. Whilst you're waiting, post here as much as you like and remember that everyone here understands what you are feeling and going through right now.

    All the best, 

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
