My boyfriend found out yesterday that his unle has lung cancer. It was a really difficult evening last night and i feel emotionally drained.

Neither my boyfriend or i know much (if anything!?) about it or what happens next. Apparently they won't be able to cure it but possibly slow it down...?!

Can anybody tell me any more about it? or what he might have to go through?

I feel useless towards my boyfriend and i think he feels useless towards his family - cousins in particular. Cancer is the sort of thing where you just dont know what to say other than to try and remain positive!

He's uncles only early 40s and like all of his uncles they are very close to thier nephew (my boyfriend) as he lost his dad when he was only 8 - so they were the male role models in his life.

I think its the hardest thing is seeing a grown man cry and all i want to do is say everything will be alright... but feel as though i'm lying when i say that!!

Appreciate any advice reagarding lung cancer and anyone that's been through a similar situation.

Thanks x

Hi Baby Jane - I had last week off work hence the reason i've not been online for a while! Unfortunately spent most of it under a duvet in front of the TV with a bloody awful cold... which i've had to bring with me to work today. Feeling better than i did all last week though! And only2 weeks left until i leave work! wooo hoo!

With regards to Karls Uncle - things seem to be looking up! He was told that it make only take three chemo sessions before they can operate and i know he'll also be contacting his previous employerabout the Asbestos to sue.

How's your mum doing? Hope you're well xxxx
