Newby to this site my introduction

I was diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer in Sept 2016. I had a lobectomy in October 2016 followed by chemotherapy which finished 4 weeks ago. I am still having terrible hot sweats, fatigue and poor appetite. Very emotional at still feeling unwell even though everything finished. Am i alone in all this?. Janice

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Janice and thanks for sharing your story.

    You certainly seem to have gone through a lot recently and to still be suffering from the effects of chemotherapy. Do mention these symptoms you are still experiencing to your medical team as I am sure they will be able to help you deal with the hot sweats, fatigue and poor appetite you are experiencing.

    I am sure you are not alone in all this and I hope you will get to talk to others here who are feeling like you at the moment and that you can support one another during this difficult time.

    Our nurses are also available on this free number 0808 800 4040, their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and you can ring them anytime you want to talk or have a question for them.

    I hope you feel a little better soon and that these symptoms get better with time.

    Best wishes,

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
