Newly diagnosed.

[Prundence007]

Hi all

Totally devastated, just been diagnosed with NSCLC in my left lung and nodules in my right.

Head is all over the place. Thinking the worst. How do you get your head round this? I am to start target drugs on Friday.

Is there anyone out there that has experience with target drugs?

Thank you

Hello Prundence007,

Welcome to our forum, I am sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis, understandably this must have came as a great shock and it is only natural to think the worst. On this forum many will share their own personal experiences of lung cancer and how they are now living with the disease. Try to avoid Dr Google as often the treatments and statics that you can come across are out of date and no longer accurate. Below I have added links to some sites which have relevant up to date information

I have added below links to our booklets and information on targeted therapies below.
