Hi all I am a 68 year old man who was told two days ago I have lung cancer, I'm here to try and get my head around what is happening and what journey I'm about to start.I have a strong determination to beat this but have no idea yet what treatment I'm going to get.

  • Hi Stuart my journey with lung cancer started in September and I have had no treatment up till now.

    i was going to have section of lung removed but they found some cancer cells further up the lung  I am now maybe going to lose most of my lung if not all of it in the new year. I find everyone at the hospitals I come into contact with very helpful and supportive. Yes keeping positive is a must but I think you are in for a roller coaster of emotions trying to get your head around things. Like the rest of us you will have good days and bad and on the bad days a really good friend to talk to helps. I find it easier to talk to a friend rather than my husband or the rest of the family. I think I have had every test known to man so if there is anything you need to know don’t hesitate to ask. It is helpful to talk to someone who is in the same boat. I have not done anything like this before so I am not sure sure if it helps or not
