Hi Lisalouise welcome to the online community, but sorry you have found yourself here.
My name is Chelle and I am one of the community champs of the Lung cancer forum if you click on the link I have added it will take you straight to the group. In the lung group you will meet lots of people in a similar position to yourself, but you will see that with all the new treatments now available for lung cancer, many people who were given 12 months to live, are still here many years later.
You can join the Lung cancer forum in the same way you have here, then create a post to introduce yourself. I look forward to welcoming you into the group.
