Did anyone have a missed diagnosis of NSCLC?

Handling it okay. It was literally the exact diagnosis I was expecting for months now. Still difficult to officially see it. I have support but like so many have told me they just don't fully understand. They get upset at times and seem to believe they would handle it better. Being told to stop worrying is so frustrating. Some have come around now that the diagnosis is concrete. Most of these people have no experience with cancer but it's hard not to be a little angry with their callousness.

@bradandrus76, Rest assured that however you are handling this is the right way for you to handle it. We're all different, and no one can tell you how to feel or what to think. I found/find that some of the people that want to minimize the diagnosis are trying to make you feel better about it, or maybe just make themselves feel better about it. It's a difficult time, and it will get easier.
I hope you have a treatment plan soon, so you can move past the waiting game. Take care.
