Living with lung cancer can elicit varying symptoms and complications. Some symptoms and complications may be more limiting or debilitating than others, while others may be more easily managed.

Comment and discuss the lung cancer symptom or complication you wish you could get rid of.

Chest 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.

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.

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.
