Have been diagnosed today with small cell lung cancer. Start combo chemo and radiotherapy next week. Terrified and stunned. Need to hear if anyone has beaten this and tips on how to get through the treatment cycles

Hi Jools
thank you so much for taking the time to get back to me when you really have so much on your plate. It was so kindnof you to think to share your day. Im so pleased your appointment was more possitive than you anticipatedand you've been given plenty of information.With good information we can all feel a little bit more in control.
As Im sure you will understand, our household is very stressed this morning. It isn't helping that our daughter has brought our grandaughter round today. I usually do childcare on Mondays and Tuesdays and she wasnt able to get her into nursary today. She will be 1 tomorrow and a bit of a handful and has spent most of the morning squealing and stropping as youngsters do. . Not what we need right now. She is spending the afternoon with granny while our daughter comes with us to be an extra pair of ears.
We are hoping that if my husband gets bad news today it will be just bad and not catastophic. We are very concerned because of his escalating pain over the past month while the investigations have been ongoing.
I will be thinking of you as your treatment starts next week. I hope you are both coping well with your new normality. I will drop you a line to let you know how we get on today
Warm wishes

Hi Jools
Our news today was about as bad as it gets. My lovely husband has been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer which has spread to lymph nodes and his right adrenal gland. He has decided to accept a course of chemo and radiotherapy to try to buy some time.
Right about now one year ago our daughter phoned to say our much anticipated 1st grandchild was on her way. Such joy! And here we are 1 year later in the depths of despair. Life can be so cruel.
I hope you do really well with your treatment. I will be watching for your news.

Am so very sorry Inula. Will not offer platitudes or tell you it's going to be ok. I don't know you at all, but you seem to be a strong woman with a good heart and that will help you and your family. Hold your man tight when you can. Take care.
