Hi Legomaniac 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've recently been given a terminal lung cancer diagnosis and it's natural to want to find ways to cope.
The online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the lung cancer group, where you can ask questions and share experiences about the treatment of lung cancer.
Another group which I think you'd benefit from joining is the living with incurable cancer group where you'll find others who have been told that their cancer is not curable.
If you'd like to join either or both of these groups, just click on the links I've created and then join and post in the same way as you did here. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute, it would be great if you could update your profile about your diagnosis and treatment so far 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.
