Hello everyone,
I am 44 and was recently diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (April, 2016) and although I am hopeful, at times I can fall off and get so discouraged. I start radiation (5 treatments) in a couple of hours and chemo starts on June 29th. I think the hardest part is not knowing where I will be in a few years. I have a 7 year old and a 5 year old and it kills me to think ... well, you know. I just accomplished a life-long dream of graduating college and now have a "dream job" only to have this fall upon me!
I am usually in a decent mood except I ran out of Zanax a couple of days ago...I didn't think I needed it anymore (lol). I have more on the way. I suppose what I need most is a social outlet; to be near people who understand what I am going through. I hope this is where I will find peace and solace.
Thank you!
