Introducing myself - SHWSM, I have lung/bone cancer

Hello,

I joined the community chat today, I live in the South West and have lung/bone cancer.  I have chemotherapy/immunotherapy every 21 days.

I like to read, listen to music and walk as far as I’m able (which isn’t far at the moment!.  I enjoy meeting with friends for coffee and have a very supportive family.  The professionals are great too.

I can see that you've been chatting with other forum members on another thread and I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're having regarding work. It sounds like it's been a difficult time and I hope that you're able to reach a mutual agreement with your employer soon. 

    It's great to hear that you have supportive friends and family as well as support from the professionals involved in your care. I hope that you're able to continue doing the things that you enjoy as treatment progresses.
