Just wanted to say hi. Im new to group. Been a tough year. I was diagnosed with a stomach GIST tumour in March this year and during investigations I was also found to have a lung tumour and suspected kidney tumour. I've since had stomach GIST removed in May and a lobectomy 4 weeks ago and am due to start chemo and radiotherapy for my lung in coming weeks with kidney lesion under active surveillance. All tumours being deemed separate primaries. Like I say, a scary year and long road to still tread. Trying to keep positive though and just wanted to introduce myself and maybe connect with people going through the same.
Hello Brendansmum,
A warm welcome to the online community, although I'm very sorry you have the need to join.
It certainly has been a tough year for you, and I hope that as you recover from your lobectomy (and, with luck the kidney problem does not develop further) things improve significantly for you as we approach the end of 2026.
The online community comprises numerous cancer specific forums and to connect with people going through the same treatments I suggest you join and post in each one. I have placed links to these below for you to connect easily.
With my best wishes, Derek.
