Hello everyone,

How are you today? emoticon cute

What is the biggest challenge you face because of your lung cancer? Is it the symptoms? The treatments? Or even accepting the diagnosis? The change in the way others look at you?

Feel free to share your experience and opinions with others, it is by by coming together that we can be stronger in the face of chronic illness!

Take care,
Courtney

It's on top of emphysema, so the breathing really labored.

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.
