Hello Jonmichael
A warm welcome to the Online Community although I am so sorry to find you joining us under these circumstances. I am Brian, one of the Community Champions here on the Community.
The Community is divided into cancer specific groups and I would advise you to join our lung cancer group where you will "meet" others on the same or similar journey - here's the link you need:
Once you click on the link I have provided and the page opens up, click on "join" on the black banner at the bottom of the page. once you have joined the group you can introduce yourself in the "New Here - Say Hello" section. You can copy and paste your post from above or post something new. I am sure you will receive a warm welcome.
Don't forget our support line is there for you on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week).
