Hi Wendy, My Aunt was diagnosed with lung cancer about the same week I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March last year. I know the support I got from strangers/charities far outweighed the support & information she did (none!) She started chemo but it got too much for her so she decided to stop treatment soon after starting and let nature take its course, which it did just before Christmas.
I was lucky, I only needed a lumpectomy, radiation and now tamoxifen.
Unfortunately another Aunt has been diagnosed with colon cancer in the last 2 weeks. It's still early days, so I don't know her treatment plan or even if its only in her colon yet, so I have my fingers crossed.
