    Hi there,

    Welcome to the forum,

    I am so sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis. No matter how well prepared we are to hear this news it always seems to hit us like a bolt out of the blue.You will probably find that you experience a whole raft of different emotions in the coming weeks. Don't worry about these. They are a perfectly natural reaction to such devastating news.

    Some people want to know exactly what their prognosis is, while others, like yourself , don't want to know. Neither way is wrong. What is good is your positive attitude to treatment. I hope that you can keep your positivity going and that you get a good outcome.

    Please keep us informed as to how you get on. There is always someone here whenever you feel like talking.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • My wife has lung cancer. Diagnosed Feb last year. Chemo was easy peasy, results were excellent.  Radiotherapy changed her permanently. Towards the end of that she was hospitalised 3 times for checks, and cover their backss. 4 session of Immuno and she is majorly TIRED. Sluggish, a changed person. No appetite..It's hard to witness to be honest. We wait and hope for some signs of progress.

  • Hi Immunotherapy,

    I have not had radiotherapy, chemo or immunotherapy so I cannot really answer your question. Success  seems to depend on so many different factors, such as age of patient, grade, stage and type of cancer, general health of the patient, etc. These treatments seem to work for some but not for all.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Alsdouble,

    I am so sorry to hear about your wife's lung cancer and how she has reacted to radiotherapy and immunotherapy, despite doing so well with chemo. It is heartbreaking to watch these changes and to be unable to change things.

    I sincerely hope that you will see some signs of progress soon.

    Thinking of and praying for you both.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine
