@lls8000 Hi Lisa, thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
I have received counseling but it was for my marriage.
I haven't talked to anyone about my cancer though. I have looked into trauma therapy, but the cost is outrageous! The closest one is 2.5 hrs away. The cancer clinic is 3 hrs away. I can't afford to do both (gas $$).
I was referred to a pulmonologist and she did a Bronchoscopy, December 1st, that's when I was informed that I have cancer. She did a much deeper one, December 8th and passed me off to the cancer clinic. She did a biopsy both times. Now I'm just waiting for further tests before meeting with an oncologist.

@karick, how are you doing? Going through all those diagnostic tests is stressful (to say the least). Have you completed the tests and met with the team to learn more about the proposed treatment plan?
