Overview of Features
Forums and Discussion Boards
There are 27 forums with topics ranging from Survivor Stories to News and Advocacy to Living Well with lung cancer. Each forum has multiple discussion boards where you can post questions and thoughts that you’d like to share with the community. Or you can weigh in on discussions that other members have posted about topics that are relevant and interesting to you.
If you’ve just joined LCSC, introduce yourself in the Welcome New Members forum. Tell us a bit about yourself and your motivation for joining the community. If you are someone living with cancer, tell us as much as you’re comfortable sharing about your diagnosis and prognosis. Many of the other survivors who are members have been in similar situations. While no two journeys are the same, it can be very helpful to connect with someone who has been on a similar path. And you’ll find that an online support system can be very empowering and uplifting!

We are glad that you’ve joined LCSC and look forward to getting to know you!

To all, thanks for the support. What I'm finding the most problematic about this situation is an inability to plan for tomorrow. It's not the prospect of death but the loss of a future. Regardless, like you all, if the prognosis is bleak, I will accept the inevitable and move forward. On a side note, it's amazing to me how someone's life can dramatically change with a simple visit to the doctor. Crazy stuff.
