Just diagnosed with lung cancer

Just been told i have small cell lung cancer. Localised to chest but had to have MRI incasr spread to brain. I am still in shock and wondering how long i may live. Chemo and radiology has been suggested. 

I am scared, sad, feel guilty and alone. I hate being a burden to my 2 daughters.

  • Hello Molliemandy,

    I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis and I hope your next appointment goes ok. Being diagnosed with cancer can feel like a lonely place and we can all feel like a burden sometimes, but please don't be afraid to lean on your daughters for support. You're their mum and it would be important to them that they know how you're feeling and if they can help in anyway. If you'd like any guidance on cancer and your wellbeing, there is some advice on our website around how cancer can make you feel.

    I hope posting has helped in some way,
