bobmc Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Thanks Candee, Think I just might be able to make that one. Sounds interesting. Glad your with us, getting to be quite a few of us from Jersey, been thinking about a NJ Lung cancer support group, can't find a single one in the state. I got a couple numbers from Cancer Institute of NJ, I'm gonna give them a call and see what they say. They have support groups for breast ( of course), prostate, cancer in general, and even one for ****'s with cancer Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against that but in my mind there certainly needs to be one for LUNG CANCER. So anyway, I'm off and running, I'll post when I know more. thanks again for the inf. God bless and be well Bobmc- NSCLC- stageIIB- left pneumonectomy- 5/2/01 " absolutely insist on enjoying life today!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
