Lung Cancer

Hi..

Just diagnosed this morning.. after the Dr said the words i sort of spaced out and didn't hear anything else, i had Kidney cancer which was removed successfully or so they thought and a recent follow up CT scan has shown two tiny bits in my lung.. i'm going to be referred to the lung people.. but i'm terrified, i cried all the way home, i'm 43 and male.. and i wailed in the car all the way home.. i don't know what to do

  • A very warm welcome to Cancer Chat Niaik although I'm really sorry to hear you've just been diagnosed with lung cancer.

    It's completely understandable, and natural, to not know what to do or how to feel at the moment. As you already know, coping with a cancer diagnosis is very tough, even more so when you thought you had just reached the end, so finding out that you now have to go through this all again must have been so, so, difficult but I hope with the support of your family and friends you have now found a way to process the news you have been given.  

    I'm sure some of our members will offer their support and advice to you soon but if it would help to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to support you and address any other questions or concerns you may have at this time.

    We are here for you Niaik, and we will be by your side on every step of this journey.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
