Key Messages From "It's normal to feel this way when you've just been diagnosed with lung cancer"

  • Feelings of isolation, being different, having no control and being overwhelmed are normal.
  • Feeling numb is also a common feeling. Numbness is a protective mechanism that allows us to just breathe.
  • It’s important to know that these feelings won’t last forever.
  • As you talk with your doctor and learn more about your cancer and the next steps in your treatment, you will begin to feel less overwhelmed and regain a sense of control.
