The world often feels somehow different and this can be a lonely, isolating and distressing time. A common way to explain why the experience of lung cancer causes feelings of anxiety or sadness, is to describe it as a major life stress. This is when an event happens to us that causes a threat or danger to things that matter to us most. Cancer is a threat that goes to the core of us. It is a threat to life and survival, and many people fear and feel uncertain about what the future may hold.\r\n\r\nCancer can also be a threat to a person\u2019s sense of self: Will I be the same as I was before? Will I still be able to do the things that matter to me? Cancer can lead a person to feel uncertain about relationships: Will people want to be close to me? Sometimes people worry that others will judge them for their cancer, or blame them in some way, and this can increase feelings of distress and isolation. So, it comes as no surprise that a diagnosis of cancer is often (almost always) accompanied by feelings of fear, shock, anger, deep sadness and confusion. People can find it hard to concentrate, and might have physical signs of stress such as an upset stomach, feeling irritable, or have restless sleep.\r\n\r\nOne way to describe this is to think of what would happen if you were facing a lion. Our bodies are designed to recognise threats and respond in a way that will protect us from harm. So if you found yourself faced by a lion, your body would instantly recognise the lion as a serious threat, and would get you ready biologically to fight or to run - the fight and flight response. This response is quite helpful in the face of a lion, but not so helpful when the threat is cancer.\r\n\r\nThis means that while you are thinking and trying to work out what the cancer diagnosis means for you, your body is sending out physical fear reactions, and the emotions that go with this are inevitably unpleasant, such as feeling sad, anxious, or afraid. This can make it harder to make decisions and solve problems as they arise.\r\n\r\nMuch the same things can happen to partners, family and friends. Standing beside someone you love and watching them undergo difficult cancer treatments can be heart breaking. You might feel powerless to help. Family often report different worries than the patient, and it can be hard to share these when you see your job as being a support person. For patients and family, understanding the stress response and how this affects you individually is a great first step towards a self-care plan to help manage the challenges ahead.\r\n\r\nNo one deserves lung cancer and everyone deserves access to help and support when they or someone close to them has this disease. There is no one right way to cope and everyone is different. However what can help is being flexible, reaching out, and being your own best friend. <strong>For further information and support, phone Lung Foundation Australia\u2019s Lung Cancer Support Nurse via freecall 1800 654 301.<\/strong>","post_title":"Support for those newly diagnosed with lung cancer","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"support-for-those-newly-diagnosed-with-lung-cancer","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-18 22:04:47","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-18 12:04:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/lungfoundation.com.au\/?post_type=article&p=2008","menu_order":0,"post_type":"article","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15691,"post_author":"85","post_date":"2021-04-23 11:53:21","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-23 01:53:21","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Understanding what treatments are available for lung cancer, and what these treatments mean for your wellbeing and quality of life, may help you to deal with some of the anxiety that accompanies such a complex disease. <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The medical information you receive about lung cancer treatments may seem confusing and you will likely also have emotional and practical concerns about aspects such as side effects.  <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Questions: <\/strong>If newly diagnosed, you may have many questions for your lung cancer specialist; for support with ones to consider asking, <a href=\"https:\/\/lungfoundation.com.au\/resources\/questions-to-ask-your-lung-cancer-specialist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The treatment options for lung cancer depends on your type of cancer, stage, lung function and health. The treatments may aim to shrink the tumour size, relieve your symptoms, improve your day-to-day quality of life and prolong your life expectancy. <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Lung Cancer Support Nurse Nicole said feelings of fear and anxiety can be reduced when a patient understands their type of treatment and why they have been prescribed it. <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u201cI speak to a lot of patients who report being confused about the types of lung cancer treatment they have been offered or prescribed,\u201d Nicole said.  <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u201c\u202fEducating patients on the different types of lung cancer treatments and their potential side effects can help patients make an informed decision.\u201d <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Types of lung cancers <\/strong><strong>    <\/strong> <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) makes up about 85% of all lung cancers and is a disease in which malignant cells form in lung tissues<sup>i<\/sup>. It can be treated with targeted therapy, immunotherapy, surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. Small cell lung cancer, meanwhile, generally starts in the middle of the lungs and spreads more quickly. <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Early stage non-small cell lung cancer is usually treated with surgery to remove the tumour, and sometimes chemotherapy to prevent it returning. <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Locally advanced (stage 3) treatments may include radiation, immunotherapy or targeted therapies.

It is delivered over a period of six to seven weeks. It is essentially like having a CT scan every day. You will attend your treating facility, lie on a flat bed and once you're in position, treatment will be delivered over about 10 minutes. You will not see or feel anything, nor will you be radioactive. You will be able to drive and go home immediately following the procedure.  <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Stereotactic radiotherapy is delivered slightly differently to standard beam radiotherapy, combining many small beams of radiation from different angles to target the exact shape of the tumour. This type of radiotherapy is usually administered in one to five daily treatments over one to two weeks.  <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2><strong>How do I prepare for radiation therapy?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Once you have met with a radiation oncologist and elected to proceed with treatment, you will be booked in for a planning scan, which is a CT scan. Most people won't require any medications or injections at this appointment, but you may have a temporary tattoo applied in the form of two small dots on the chest wall to accurately reproduce your position when you come in for further treatment. <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The radiotherapy treatment is then planned based on the CT scan. This process takes several days, so you can usually expect to start treatment one to two weeks after your planning scan.  <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2><strong>What are the side effects of radiation therapy?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Everyone will respond differently to radiation therapy depending on the location of your tumour and type of radiation administered.

My grandkids have been one of the most precious gifts anyone could have given me as the longer I get to live and fight the longer I get to see them grow up.\n\nWork is a big thing for me \u2013 I own a hairdressing business and work there on Saturdays. Monday to Friday I work in safety on a mine site two hours out of Mackay and really enjoy the challenge and the friendships I have made from it.\n\nHubby and I are mad keen fisherman and every spare moment we spend days on the boat taking time out with no phones and kicking back with a cold stubby.\n\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4147 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/lungfoundation.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Terri-Byrne-3-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/>Life is family and love and just wanting more of everything .\n\nIt was January 2007. I had the flu so I went to the doctor. He told me it was a virus and sent me home and that was that.\n\nThe next morning, I got my hubby to take me to outpatients at the Mater in town and the doctor there told me that I had pneumonia, I was shocked. An x-ray of my lungs wasn\u2019t clear so they sent me in for a CT scan. After the scan we sat in the waiting room for hours \u2013 you could see the doctor was struggling with something. My hubby said to me \u201cI think this is not good\u201d.\n<blockquote>Just like that, they found a tumour in the top right lung.<\/blockquote>\nThe doctor asked if I smoked! I said yes and my hubby said no \u2013 I used to sneak them!\n\nYou know that hot flush that goes from your toes to the top of your head? No one can explain it. My world was perfect, my life was on fire. Life had never better, success was all mine. Then, in one second, it turned upside down.\n<blockquote>I thought that my life was at the end and that it was never going to be good again. It\u2019s all doom and gloom from here. I wasn\u2019t angry \u2013 that came much, much later.<\/blockquote>\nIt was all a bit surreal. It\u2019s something that you don\u2019t know about or what it does or how it should feel \u2013 it\u2019s not supposed to happen to you.\n\nI think the most difficult part was the look in my hubby\u2019s eyes when he looked back at me with such sadness and helplessness. Once that\u2019s done you have to put your big girl panties on and tell your freaking kids and they understand! Not! I needed to make my family feel good and make the whole process as seamless as possible. Don\u2019t ask me how I was going to make it happen, but it had to.\n\nAll the while thinking that it was all my own fault.\n\nMoney \u2013 well, let me tell you how expensive it is to die. Where was I going to get that from? I was going to use it all up and leave the family with nothing. That was a big burden to carry.\n<blockquote>Not a day goes by when lung cancer doesn\u2019t affect my life.

I had been treated for asthma by my local doctor who then suggested I go for acupuncture to another doctor. Whilst I was having the acupuncture, I was coughing up blood and was sent for a CT scan. The CT scan revealed that I had a 3 centimetre tumour in my right lung. I was sent to a Thoracic Specialist who did an endoscopy and said my tumour was inoperable.\r\n\r\nFortunately, I got a second opinion from a surgeon who said that he would give me chemotherapy and if the tumour shrunk, and then he may be able to operate and take my right lung away. I had three sessions of seven hours chemotherapy. A PET scan showed that the tumour had shrunk out of the lymph nodes and was 60 per cent smaller, meaning it was then operable. On 12th December 2002, I had a pneumonectomy and they took my right lung away.\r\n<blockquote>Prior to my diagnosis of lung cancer, I experienced lethargy and breathlessness. I gained 20kgs in weight and finally started coughing up blood.<\/blockquote>\r\nThese symptoms affected my lifestyle quite considerably. I still managed to work but I had little energy left for anything else. Every week, I got progressively worse. I couldn\u2019t garden without resting every 10 minutes and if it hadn\u2019t been for my wife telling me we had to go and get a second opinion, I probably would not have got the treatment in time.\r\n\r\n15 years on, I continue to manage my lung health with regular exercise and a good diet. Regular, gentle walks on level ground are fabulous, slopes are great as long as they are downwards. I have a diabetic diet because I am type 2 diabetes. I eat minimal fats and no sugar and maintain my weight at my normal 84 kilos. I have annual flu vaccination and a pneumonia vaccination every five years.\r\n\r\nLife for me post treatment is back to normal. It took several weeks for me to regain the strength. I am much better than I was before the treatment even though now I only have one lung. My diagnosis of lung cancer and treatment has changed my life as it would change anybody\u2019s. I now have a sense of my mortality and I certainly do look around and appreciate things that I took for granted in the past. 15 years afterwards I am still conscious of the fact I am very lucky to be alive.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4140 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/lungfoundation.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Mikes-photo-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>\r\n\r\nMy advice for people who suspect they have lung cancer is to go to their doctor immediately.\u00a0If they\u2019re not happy with their doctor\u2019s answers and the symptoms are still there they should try another doctor or question their doctor about being referred for a CT scan.\r\n<blockquote>Cancer is not a death sentence, it is just a word and you can survive. Look at me! I continue to maintain a positive \u201ccan do\u201d attitude and life is still great. Always maintain a positive attitude that you will beat this, no matter what.<\/blockquote>\r\nMy wife, Chris and I have now retired and made a sea change from Sydney to the coastal town of Hervey Bay in Queensland. Hervey Bay ticks most of the boxes for us as well as having the facilities for all our medical check-ups (Chris has had breast cancer twice).\r\n\r\nI have been lucky enough to go on many overseas trips in the recent years. Five years ago, we cruised from Anchorage to Vancouver through the inside passage, in March 2014, to celebrate my 70th birthday we took a cruise from Singapore to Dubai which was interesting going through the countries in between. Then in November 2014, we went on my bucket list trip cruising through the Panama Canal which was fabulous and a must see. I find the 14 hour flights are easily coped with and I can handle them as well as anybody with two lungs of my age.\r\n<blockquote>The Lung Foundation helped me by providing opportunities to teleconference with other sufferers and survivors and hear their stories about how they have dealt with their lung condition.<\/blockquote>\r\nLife is perfect, we are enjoying our retirement with lots of travel and a sea change to sunny Queensland.
