Lower lung adenocarcinoma found on routine x-ray: So scary.

Hi, you wonderful and kind people who replied to my first post about my diagnosis. You all are helping me stay only halfway down the darkest rabbit hole I have ever been down. I see both a surgeon and a radiation doctor early next week. I have the brain scan in early August. But tell me, as you accept this more, does the feeling of doom get any better? I feel like I should be preparing for my demise and writing a farewell letter to everyone. I feel like in the time it takes to get all the ducks in a row, this nodule is just going to explode, and everything will be over. I can cry at a moment's notice and then turn around and tell me that it's all good and I've got a good few years to go. I feel so alone, and I know I'm not. My primary doctor called me last night just to see how I was handling the news once he got the results. He told me I am one of the strongest little women he knows. I don't feel like that right now. Next week I guess I have to decide if I want to go with surgery or radiation. Any experiences or opinions are welcome. Looking at your own mortality is super scary. I'm terrified.

It is scary, I too just got diagnosed with lung cancer it was a bump on my shoulder that I had to look at. We had it biopsy stage four lung cancer spread everywhere. told 3 to 4 months to live without chemo maybe 1 to 3 years with chemo I did my third chemo. ? So ya it’s been scary but the side affects seem to lesson w/ each treatment. I am 63 . Just moved to S.C. . Then bam !!! The bad news.

@lititaly I fell into a deep dark rabbit hole for almost 2 weeks. It sure is scary! I had my mapping done for my radiation done yesterday. They helped with my fears. Keep coming back here, because there are plenty of caring people who are, or have been, in your shoes. Making today count. Do something just for you. Me? I'm getting in my pool before the rains start.
