I’ve just joined and I’m sure this group will be helpful over time. Diagnosed in Sept with stage 4 Lung cancer going back for treatment options this Thursday.
Hello Trooper,
A very warm welcome to Macmillan's online community. I'm very sorry you have the need to join but you have come to the right place for help and advice from other members at different stages in their diagnosis and treatment.
Once you know treatment options at your appointment on Thursday do let us know what these are and feel free to ask anything you like about these so other members can respond based on their own experiences.
In the meantime, if anything else comes to mind just ask.
With my best wishes, Derek.
