I have a serious condition due to having extensive radiotherapy in 1994. This was for Hodgkins lymphoma in the right lung , and I now have Bronchiectasis and other problems .

I'm hoping to connect with people with similar conditions and share experiences .

I am 59 years old and female , and I love being social !

Hello, I'm Chrys, I suffer with bronchiectasis, rhinitis, peripheral neuropathy, leaky heart valves to name just a few health problems. I also have kidney disease and am pre-diabetic. After all that I will take time to welcome you to the forum.

I joined last Summer and feel as if Im in an extended, caring family with so much knowledge. I have never been on a Forum before and cannot praise it enough. You are obviously a very sociable person and I like to think I am too. You will soon realize everyone is on here.

You will enjoy the poems, photographs and humour of our members and will be grateful for the very useful advice and research links posted by other members. You will also share the frustrations and sadness of members from time to and will, no doubt, be prepared to offer your support when necessary to the rest of us. All in all you will look forward to catching up each day with the regular and new posters and will benefit greatly by being a member of this great Forum. Looking forward to hearing more about you.

With best wishes, Chrys.
