Welcome @gen25, I'm know that the diagnosis feels overwhelming. We have all faced this diagnosis and have found a way to navigate the clinical pieces and the emotions. You will too! Take time to process things, but it may be helpful to have someone to talk to in your close family or friend circle, and helpful to have someone that might be able to go to these initial oncology appointments with you. What was the reason for your lung transplant? And is the current cancer in your original lung?

Hi my original transplant was in my right lung due to COPD. The cancer is in my left lung. I have two sisters and told them over Christmas. They are being very supportive and will attend appointments with me. I was thinking that next i want to contact my priest at church for some spiritual comfort.
Thanks for the welcoming message
