I am new to this community and am seeking a peer support - someone to be able to talk to. A little less than 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with Stage 4 NSC Lung Cancer with Brain/Spine Mets. I am only 35 years old, with a husband and 1.5 year old baby. This is all still so fresh and reality is still settling in.

Anything will be helpful for me.
