Hi Social butterfly and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you have recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and I know what a difficult time this will be for you.
I can see that you've already found and joined the lung cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support from others who have this type of cancer. I'm sure you'll find lots of people there who have had the tests that you are having and who will be happy to share their experiences with you.
Once you feel ready, you can start a new post there in the same way as you did here, and join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
