JaneC Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 After recent posts in the NSCLC & Mesothelioma forum, I just wanted to add my thoughts and views about LCSC. We all come here for a variety of different reasons: - some come because they have LC - some were smokers - some were not smokers - some are recently diagnosed - some are long term survivors - some are early-stage LC - some are late-stage LC - some are NED - some are dealing with progression - some come because their spouse has LC - some come because their parent or other family member has LC - some come because their friend has LC - some come to receive emotional support - some come to give emotional support - some come for information: - about LC - about LC treatment and treatment side effects - about living with LC and LC treatments and side effects - about alternative and complementary therapies - about end-of-life care - about continuing on after a loved one has died because of LC - about financial issues, such as insurance and medical costs - some come to provide information - some come to support LC awareness and activism Each of us comes here with different needs, different perspectives, and different coping styles and skills. Everyone is valuable to our community. I don't believe certain topics should be taboo (i.e. smoking) and that it's OK for people to express differing opinions in a respectful manner. I personally choose not to read certain forums and posts that I have a hard time relating to or that may be upsetting to me. Well, that's my two-cents worth. Praying for everyone at LCSC.
