Hi Blanchedorothyrose 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 thymus cancer and I know what a difficult time this will be for you. Although I didn't have the same type of cancer as you I did have many, many hours of chemotherapy so have some idea what it might be like for you.
The online community is divided up into different support groups, so I'm going to recommend that you join the thymus cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post 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.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
