Never smoked before but was diagnosed with lung cancer a few weeks prior. I definitely feel it too, my energy levels are complete crap, i have much harder time focussing and tasks which were super easy seem difficult now. So, knowing im fucked anyways, what are some things i can do to extend my very shitty prognosis?

Anyone who mentions diet is very correct. Take out anything that can cause inflammation. Inflammation is a killer. Take out anything that provides the cancer with sugars. The cancer will feed on it.

Look into prayer/meditation. Believe it or not, having faith in a higher power can calm you, and even help the body heal. There have been studies on the healing power of prayer/meditation, and survival rates have proven to be higher in those people that use the practice.

I saw it mentioned earlier, but you should look into experimental trial drugs. If your cancer is terminal, it will not harm you to give those treatments the old college try.

Taking a multifaceted approach to attacking cancer is the best thing you can do. Don't let the doctors tell you you're doomed. You are your best advocate. And remember that you should set up a support structure around you to help with appointments, etc. There are always people willing to help. Don't give up brother, my prayers go out to you. Fuck cancer!!!
