Thank you for warm welcome and support! I'm glad to see it helped you I'm sure everything will be fine at us!

Hello everyone! What should I start with.. umm I'll try to share with you my story from getting diagnosed to living with lung cancer. My name is Samantha Thompson. Mom of a boy Jackson and a beautiful girl Ana. I was diagnosed with lung cancer in the march 2022. It’s very hard to describe my emotions and loved ones when I was diagnosed… especially kid's emotions... Of course we didn’t know any clinics, we would never have thought that this was waiting for one of us. We started reading a lots of articles before about cancer and I was sure I'll get diagnosed. Of course I try not to talk about cancer not to cause even more pain to my family but I know how much they care about me and maybe it's a big mistake to hide my emotions. In june of 2022 I started my treatment via them (not sure is it important) which is still going on. It’s hard to say how I’m feeling now... all the time I feel pain... I feel lonely all the time… I hope I’ll find a bit of support here I just want to share my emotions and just to talk. My friend Julie advised me LUNGEVITY Community and after a few days here I found similar people with similar problems and stories so I feel now not so alone how I was before. I know how imagination works and I understand how loved ones can think about things worse than they really are but I'm still afraid to make them constantly think about it. But the feeling of expecting something bad does not leave me. Autumn is my favourite season and I’m fighting to see it again! How do you share your emotions with your family and do you even share with somebody?? Big hugs to the community here‌‌♥I have read several stories already and I feel this pain, I am sure that everything will be fine if we stick together! Samantha
