Not completely ready to dive right in but appreciate the support I have seen in this group for a little while so taking tentative steps to posting for now, I have stage 4 incurable cancer, treatable but learning slowly what that means x
We're here for each other my friend, and for you, in your own time, could I suggest you just read a few posts, maybe on the early morning chit chat thread, it's very lighthearted, and you can join ina conversation at any time if you want to, and you can share your story with us in your own time,
Eddie
Hi GreenH, a very warm welcome from me. As Eddie said, there are loads of people here to offer their support when you need it and are ready, no matter how dire your situation. I know what you mean about putting pen to paper and staring at the reality. But I've learned that denial does not sit right either. I wish you well and jump in anytime.

Hello GreenH
Thank you for taking the plunge and saying hello!
You don't have to disclose anything, or talk about your diagnosis if you don't want to!
There are several threads or discussions going on at the moment, on topics like books, what we watch on TV, gardening, crafts and creative stuff.....there are plenty of opportunities for you to dip your toes in the water!

Hi GreenH, Firstly a warm welcome and well done for taking a step closer. I’m sure most of us lurked for a while reading posts etc before putting in writing we are a part of this Group. However I for one have never regretted joining this very supportive, caring Group!
Love Annette x
