Hello

HI, Im new to the site and just wanted to say hello, 

  • Hi and welcome its hard to be connected to this site but generally it's good to know there is support x

  • Thank you for replying, just finding my way around at the moment . I am new to chat rooms has not usually my thing, but saw this on facebook and thought I would give it a go x

  • Hi Pendle,

    I found this site by accident 4 1/2 years ago and like you had never visited chat rooms before. But I joined up straight away as I was taken by how many people who were finding it hard to talk to family or friends about their fears and feelings. I have chatted to some amazing and inspirational people during this time and count a lot of people on here as good friends.

    It is often said, you have to have had cancer to really know what it feels like or to have had a loved one suffering from it and in a way its so true. I have had prostate cancer myself and have lost ten family members to cancer so I know what its like on both sides of the fence so to speak.

    I wish you good luck with your treatment and hope you get good results like I got. Please keep in touch, Brian.

     

  • Hi Pendle,

     I too saw this on facebook and thought I would have a look.  I have stage 4 non small cell lung cancer and until you have some form of cancer you do not know where it will take you.  I feel that I am improved in some way mentally and take more notice of the world around me so you could say I was enriched.  However, the other side is scary and these sites are a blessing.  I am also on Roy Castle site, Macmillan site and an American one called Inspire.  Chatting to other people brings comfort and questions can be answered.  I presume from your name that you live near Pendle.  I did live in Colne but now in Rossendale.
