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.

All the best with your group, the support received from the nurses and fellow members is priceless.

Thanks Phillipa

Hope things are well for you...my lung care nurse at the hospital is amazing..just wanted to get things going here in Cornwall on a more sociable level with her and other's backing. It can be lonely having lung cancer!!!

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
