bes Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 We just found out Friday that my husband has stage 4 squamous lung cell cancer; this is much harder than I though it would be. I was ready for the diagnosis or so I thought but it has hit me like a ton of bricks today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgetO Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Hi bes, I'm sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. It's normal to feel liike you've been hit by a ton of bricks (or run over by a truck). I don't think there's any way to adequately prepare for this diagnosis. Welcome to this forum. Whatever you're going through, you'll probably find someone who's been through something similar. Nobody is the same, but you'll probably find enough in common to find support and hope. Keep posting and hang in there. Bridget O Tom Galli and LaurenH 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
