Hello,
I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Connie and I live in South Elgin, Illinois. My husband was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma April 24, 2006, and died this year January 22.
When he was diagnosed a mass was located on top of his right lung, which was the Squamous Cell. We never found the primary source. I have been exposed to other cancers as my mother died from breast cancer and my stepmother from bone cancer, but I knew nothing about lung cancer. I learned a lot very quickly.
It is a long story how I came to join the LCSC forum but basically I want to get involved, and try to make a difference, reaching out, educating, and making a larger awareness for lung cancer.
I am looking forward to speaking with some of you in the future.
Connie Rausch
