Hi everyone:
I joined the community recently, and I am posting this brief note to introduce myself
My name is Diego, and I was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. I have gone through two lung surgeries; I am in the process of recovering from the second surgery.
Waiting to talk over the next couple of days to the Thoracic Medicine team, to define next steps after the surgeries
So far, I have been able to remain pretty positive regardless of the diagnosis. I started my Meditation / Mindfulness journey 18 months ago, and I am glad I did it, since this practice has been invaluable to remain positive.
Hi Diago, welcome to the group but sorry you find yourself here. I hope you are recovering well from your recent surgery.
There are lots of people here on different treatments, so once you know what your next treatment plan is, there will be someone here who will be able to share their experience with you.
Good luck talking to your team, let us know how you get on.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
