jmckee Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 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.

Do you have a local support group for lung cancer victims? If it was early in the year, have you had a follow up CT? Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recce101 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Judy: Welcome to the LCSC -- it's a wonderful resource. I know you included some background in your initial post, but if you can provide some additional specifics about your situation, diagnosis, and treatment you'll get plenty of responses from folks here who have gone down the same path that you're on. A simple way to accomplish this is via the profile of symptoms, treatments, results, etc. displayed at the bottom of your posts. This profile always reflects your latest updated information even if the message is old and saves you from having to repeat a lot of background and status information every time you post -- just plunge right into the subject at hand. To create a profile, click the My Profile link at the top of the page, enter/update your information in the Signature window, and make sure that Preferences > Always attach my signature is marked Yes. Since you successfully battled breast cancer some years back and have now been diagnosed with lung cancer, your perspective will be valuable to old-timers and new members alike. It's great having you with us, although....well, you know what I mean. Best wishes and Aloha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chloesmom Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hi Judy, I also have had breast cancer and lung cancer...look at my profile beneath this post. Just wanted to welcome you, and yes, I don't look at life the same either, and that's probably a good thing, but all of us here can understand your perspective. When you can, please complete your profile so we can find out more about you. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
