When you fall, you have to pull yourself back up for your little comedian.

As for the usual pessimists and bores, I'll handle them myself.
You know who I am. 😉

Oh, of course, dear—don't you worry. Once that initial shock and panic subside, I'll be my old self again.
You know how I am—I'll fight for him with everything I've got. And, naturally, with your help.😉

Lisa White54 said:Dear Hat, my husband was diagnosed with bronchial and tracheal cancer five years ago—he was only 47 at the time. The prognosis was grim; they weren't expecting much, and frankly, they didn't give us any hope. He had a 6 cm tumor. After eight rounds of chemo and 22 radiation treatments, the tumor vanished. Not a single metastatic cell in sight.
And look—he’s been alive and well for five full years now.

Hang in there, stay brave, and keep fighting.

Dear Lisa White54, your words are truly a balm to my soul—thank you, thank you, thank you. We head in for another round of chemo tomorrow, and I've spent the entire day nauseous from nerves—though I try to hide it, making sure to stay smiling and cheerful whenever I'm in front of him. I actually purchased a syrup from Koderman AAR ALOER, an import from Germany—does anyone know much about it before I give it to him? It was recommended to me as something excellent for boosting the immune system.

Donna Chase said:If you want anyone to actually give you useful advice, you really need to be a bit more specific—what type of carcinoma are we talking about, is it operable, and so on? That said, I’ll try to offer some encouragement using my own experience. My husband (and from what you've shared, I completely understand where you're coming from) underwent surgery for lung adenocarcinoma three years ago and finished four rounds of chemo. Now, he's just on regular checkups every six months, and everything is looking good, thank Jesus.
So, every case is unique.
Take a look at the lung cancer patients association " jedro" website. They have much more detailed information regarding all the different types of carcinoma.
I'm registered there under the handle vjera.ljubav.nada, so you can read through the specifics there. And please, stay in touch with us—it helps to exchange experiences.

Thank you too, Donna Chase, for the support and the kind words. I truly hope that, for your family, it will only ever be routine checkups from here on out. Best regards!

Angela Wright said:Because it is such an incredibly grueling period—not just for the patients themselves, but for their families and loved ones too—and because our society often lacks sufficient psychological support, I decided to start this forum. Having faced these challenges personally, I wanted to create a space where those of us navigating these waters can offer one another advice and genuine support.

Please feel free to post here; I will always make an effort to reply, offer advice, or simply stand by those who are struggling—which, quite frankly, can sometimes be even harder than the direct fight against the illness itself.

Personally, I have walked through hell, and I am still walking through it—and I truly believe no one should have to face this alone.

Sending big hugs to everyone.

Thanks for responding, Angela Wright. My husband has been diagnosed with stage three adenocarcinoma, and it isn't operable; it has spread to his bronchi and is pressing on his left vocal cord, so he’s been limited to whispering for three months now. The tumor is about 3.5 cm. He has started chemotherapy, which is slated for four cycles for now—that’s all the information I have at this point. He is being treated in Split by Dr. Perić, who isn't particularly communicative—most of my questions are met with nothing more than a one-word "yes" or "no." That is why I am searching for advice; I just want to understand more so I can actually help him. Thanks again!

Having been personally caught up in these struggles myself, I wanted to create a space where those of us who have been there (or are currently there) can offer one another advice and genuine support.

Please, leave a post here. I promise I will always try to write back—whether it’s to offer advice or simply to stand by those of you going through it. Sometimes, being a bystander is just as taxing as fighting the disease itself.

I'm going through a nightmare right now. Two weeks ago, we found out my husband has lung cancer. He's 44, and he is quite literally the best man I know; aside from our two kids, he's my entire world. I lost my mother to cancer, too, so his diagnosis has hit me like a physical blow. He’s much more optimistic and brave than I am, and I know he needs me to be his rock, but I'm struggling. Please, if you have any advice, I need it—my crying isn't helping him at all, and I don't know how to make it stop.
