[Have been lurking, finally "coming out"]

Hello, Matt! I'm new also, but still want to welcome you.

My boyfriend, (43 years old) recently found out that he has 4 spots on his lung. He is in denial & refusing to follow up with any tests to determine if he does actually have cancer.

You have been in my thoughts & will continue to be in my prayers.

Thank you all for responding to my post. I don't have anything new to report. He's been out of town & will be back tomorrow. I hope & pray that he will be refreshed & ready to get down to business. I'll keep you all posted. I can't tell you how all of your responses touched me; you will ALL be in my prayers!

I've visited this site a few times but just registered tonight. I've been inspired, moved, educated & comforted by what I've read here!

Thank you!

I found out a month ago that the love of my life probably has lung cancer. X-rays show 4 small spots on his lung. He is an otherwise very healthy & young 43 years old, but is in total denial & not willing to have any more tests or start treatment. He refuses to talk about it & he hasn't confided in anyone other than me. I find myself slipping into denial as well, but realize I can't have that "luxury". I lost my precious mother to cancer less than 2 years ago & I won't let this hideous disease sneak into our lives again without a fight! I've tried everything I can think of to get him to snap out of it & go back to the doctor, but he just calmly deflects all of my attempts. I'm at a loss & so thankful to have a place to vent & gain insight. Thank you, again!
