What symptoms and complications would you want to get rid of? https://www.carenity.us/forum/lung-cancer/living-with-lung-cancer/what-symptoms-and-complications-would-you-want-to-get-rid-of-973Chest pain... the worst is always the pain.
Interesting discussion and while I agree the pain is horrible when it is there, as a spouse, for me the complication I wish I could get rid of is the depression and the feeling of inadequacy.
Having a hard time breathing in muggy weather.
The emotional part is the worst for me - knowing that I'm Stage IV and I'm not going to live as long as I wished I could have.
Agree with above posters - the depression and mental part. can be argued that they are harder to cope with... the mere acknowledging the cancer is challenging.
@ninonmoira I am sorry to hear about your stage 4 diagnosis. Do not fret away from reaching out.
@suzzie! Thank you suzzie for saying this. People often forget the psychological impact of cancer on both the patient and their family.
