You are not alone. I am a 12 year lung cancer survivor. The miracles and medical changes have been amazing. Lung Cancer has become my blessing. The support of Mayo Clinic has been remarkable and has given me a pathway to a great quality of life, for which I am grateful. I have learned that with time the shock of lung cancer becomes less harsh. The therapies and hard work of medical teams and research will continue to lessen our burden and create a better life for our children and grand children. God Bless You
The people on this site are wonderful, I don't post often enough for sure, but knowing the group is here has helped sustain me since my diagnosis almost exactly one year ago today!! If you are able to, my advice is get a second opinion!! Hugs
Hi @scoop2365, as you can see, you will get first-hand experience and support from members who live with lung cancer like @merpreb @alamogal635 @bluelagoon and others, as well as fellow caregivers for people living with lung cancer or cancer like @burrkay @reibur1951 and @artscaping.
Waiting for results is tough. But remember, while lung nodules can be cancerous, most lung nodules are noncancerous (benign). Whatever you find out on Thursday, it will give you a plan for next steps. And the community will be here to accompany you, answers questions where we can and help you navigate the path ahead.
Should you wish to talk with other caregivers about caregiver in general, you may also wish to follow the Caregivers group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/caregivers/
