Dawn, i've been dealing with various cancers since 2010??? throat, now lungs, and throat again??
I'm an A type person, so i've been pretty positive for along time now i'm on Chemo, 2nd bout, little rough but learning to deal with it and just keep going??? Maybe its just me i do get upset sometimes, and angry, but get over it quickly. I may be an outlier but so far it has served me well, just make up your mind to deal with it each and every day and you'll be ok.
Praying for you too

Hi everyone,
How are you toda?
How did you handle the news when you were diagnosed with lung cancer? Was it hard for you to process? And how are you doing today?

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.
