I'm new to the forum.

  2. I have metastic lymph node on chest wall and I have been told I have nodules on my lungs and need a PET scan.
  3. My diagnosis is grastro intestinal cancer but hasn't actually been checked yet.
  4. I am 59 years old and apparently fit and healthy, I have all my family around me but I am so scared.
  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    It's natural to be scared when you've had a cancer diagnosis but hopefully once you know what your treatment plan is, you'll feel a lot more in control.

    The online community is divided into different support forums so I'm going to recommend that you join the stomach cancer forum which is a great place to ask questions and share experiences with others who have a similar diagnosis to you.

    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 put something about your diagnosis and tests 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.
