Hi Vivi

I think my first answer got lost somewhere! So, your first anniversary coming up? That's excellent news. And good luck with setting up a group. Guaranteed you'll get laughs as well as support. :)

Hi Vivi,

As Bill said your first anniversary is upon you, many congratulations and good luck with your group.

I live in Spain, and find it hard to meet people who are like me, I was also diagnosed with in operable stage 4 NSC lung cancer. I am staying positive. I have the results from my first cat scan on Monday 17th.

Before I moved to Spain I lived in Cornwall. (Bude).

If you could let me know how where you are in Cornwall as on my next visit I would love to attend a meeting.

Thanks,

Georgie x
