Cancer in the lining of my left lung

[Lesley63]

Hi there 

This my first message 

I was diagnosed with cancerous cells in the lining of my left lung on Tuesday 

I have started immunotherapy last Wednesday 

I had Lobular cancer in my left breast in 2023

I would like to know if anyone has had the sterile talc powder procedure to the lung??

I had a LT of fluid drained from my left lung the other day 

if I’m doing this wrong please let me know

Hi @Lesley63 

I am very sorry to hear you are unwell.

I don't have cancer of the lung, but I just wanted to greet you and say hi.

I hope you are ok.

Hi @Lesley63 

Welcome and thank you for posting your first message here in the community. It can be very daunting sharing how you're feeling and asking questions. I'm sure other community members will reach out with words of support in their way - you're not alone. 

Making treatment decisions and wondering if you're doing the right thing is natural given the gravity of what you're facing. Here are a couple of resources that might help you.... this one talks to the talc procedure you mention. Here also is another resource on immunotherapy that may help. 

If you would like to talk to one of our health professionals please contact our information and support service on 13 11 20 and they can talk you through any questions you might have. 

Stay strong,
