diagonised 10 months ago and hoping to make many more
Hi Diannne
I am a 73 year old diagnosed with lung cancer back in March and now, after surgery, recovering slowly and in remission. Lots of ups and downs along the way but like you, I'm hoping to be around for many more years. I joined the online community when I was first diagnosed and sometimes log on to see the messages and blogs. I haven't posted anything until I read yours today and had a strong urge to respond.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
