Realist - just been diagnosed with lung cancer

Offline yvefinn over 6 years ago

Hi everyone
I have just been diagnosed with lung cancer .

i probably think differently to most people in the way I have dealt with the news.

i am entirely to blame for the position I now find myself in.

i am a smoker & have been for most of my life.

By the time all the warning came out I was & still am heavily addicted.

The news that I have lung cancer cane as no surprise.

i have already decided what to do about treatment if any.

i definitely won't give into it but at the same time actions having consequences & I have accepted that

stay strong

I hope that your treatment goes well. We are a very supportive community and just wanted to let you know we are there for you every step of the way through your treatment or at any time when you might need to talk to others who understand exactly how you are feeling.
