I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.

Hi everyone, how are you feeling today?
Living with lung cancer, you may already be doing a lot to protect your lungs, from avoiding secondhand smoke to keeping your home well-ventilated. But what about air purifiers?
Some types of air cleaners can help reduce small, invisible particles like tobacco smoke, dust, or mist that could irritate the lungs or even worsen symptoms. That said, not all devices are effective for everything, and they don’t remove every kind of pollutant. Still, many people with chronic lung conditions say they feel a difference with regular use.
👉 Have you ever tried using an air purifier at home?
👉 Did you notice any changes in your symptoms or breathing?
👉 What type or brand do you use, and would you recommend it to others?
