Another new blogger

[Billculbard]

I was diagnosed with inoperable non small cell lung cancer in spring 2000, aged 57. I was treated at the Beatson Oncology Centre in Glasgow, with chemotherapy and radiotherapy and was able to return to work in December same year.

My wife and I have been involved with Roy Castle LCF for about ten years, and I used to subscribe to the previous 'blogging' page. Fortunately for me, work got in the way and I haven't contributed for the past few years.

Now, I have retired - again - so have more time to check out the site and offer comments where appropriate.

I am currently a Research Assistant/Patient Adviser with the Cancer Care Research Centre at the University of Stirling, where I am in a position to offer advice to researchers, from a patient's perspective.

Best wishes to all! Bill
