The site is brilliant for getting good advice, support, or just having a chat or sharing bits of humour. I'm sure that you'll gain great benefit....I know that I do.

Hi there. I am in New Zealand and was diagnosed by scans in July 2016. It was a shock as it was no doubt for you. I don't seem to have very much in the way of symptoms currently - and wish that would last for ever! However, I have got my head around the diagnosis and will just get on with life. I swim and bike and walk and will just keep on keeping on for as long as I can I guess. When I saw the Respiratory Specialist in July I was just given a regular 6 month follow up appointment and re-Xray later this month, which I think is what they do in NZ unless you have symptom change or worsening etc. Sending good wishes for New Year. Are you in Australia?
