I found this forum over the weekend and find it comforting to have a way of communicating with others.
I am very lucky.
I had breast cancer 13 years ago. I mean it was terrifying, but I had surgery and no chemo or radiation was indicated.
I think I went back to " normal life".
This year I was diagnosed with lung cancer. Stage 1b BAC. I don't think I will ever look at life quite the same. I think that is good..
Anyway,
Thankyou to those who run this board.

Hello to all of you in the world of lung cancer.
I posted once but I think it was in the wrong place.
My name is Judy and I was diagnosed with Stage 1b non small cell lung cancer in March of this year.
I'm a social worker and have, I think, pretty good social skills, but this morning I'm ticked.
1) at my boss, whose reply when I told him I'm scheduled for outpatient surgey on the 18th ( to remove the port cath used for chemo ), was that if I take off that day, he has staffing problems...
2) at the Ill Dept of Regulation, who hasn't replied to my message re: status of complaint against a physician who forgot to read my CAT Scan last year,...if I hadn't asked for a copy to be mailed to me, I would not have known I had lung cancer.
It's one of those days....I just needed to vent.
Thankyou for providing this space.

really greatful to be alive...
