I'm not sure where to start really, I was diagnosed with lung cancer and today I went to see my specialist who's told me my prognosis is terminal.
My heads been all over the place, one minute im crying, the next laughing.
I am so afraid and keep having panic attacks.
Will I ever make peace with this I keep asking myself

I’m so terribly sorry to read this. I have not read the full chat, my partner died a sudden death, cardiac arrest, we had 3 very young babies 4,3,11 months, all left behind. If we had of known he was dying we would have done things diffent? Yes we would we would have made wonderful memories and took millions of photos. Do you have children? Partner? Make as many memories as you possibly can. My children have grown older now but still children, I’ll never let them forget their daddy, for my partner who died I guess if he had of known what was coming he would have been utterly terrified of what was to come, so I don’t blame you for being so scared it’s the worst news anyone can hear. I have no advice other than make memories with your loved ones while you’re still feeling well.
