Hi

I just wanted to say hi. My Dad has also just been diagnosed with Lung Cancer which is in his Liver and on his Spine. Aside from his leg pain, you wouldn't know he was "ill". It was a shock to us all and the last 3 weeks of waiting has been hell.

He saw the Respiratory Consultant on Monday to confirm he will start chemotherapy next week and has his first Oncology appointment on Friday. I assume we will have more information on Friday. My Mum thinks the consultant said it's Small Cell Lung Cancer, which I'm even more petrified of now as I'm not sure there is as much treatment to be offered for Small Cell, and like yourself, have the worry of the effects from chemotherapy.

This forum has helped me through the last few weeks, it's good to talk.

I wish your Mum all the best, and I have read everywhere that a healthy positive mind is key to a good recovery, which I'm trying to instil in my Dad as he is a little down at the moment.

Make sure you look after yourself also. All the very best.

Hi all of you. I've been dealing with this for four years and have been through every emotion available!  If you want to read my way of coping have a look at Dor06 it's helped a lot of others even with other cancers. Love and good luck to you all in coping with it. Carol x
