Living with lung cancer - Introduce yourself & come say hi

<p>I was diagnose with two kinds of lung cancer in 1916. I have mesothelioma in my left lung and plain old cancer in my right lung. I have been on Mayo Clinic Connect for several years, but have not been here for several months. I have been talking with Colleen and Teresa for several years. I would like to visit with Colleen and Teresa. Thank you. I would update them for the past six months.</p>

@shortshot80 Hello Nancy, It is so good to hear from you! I hope you are feeling better now. I look forward to your update of the last 6 months.
Just wondering, how is your book coming along?
@shortshot80- Good morning Nancy. I remember when I became a mentor for the lung cancer group that you were just leaving for your surgeries. And I have read your occasional posts. I'm so glad that the surgeries are behind you and that you back!
I realize that you feel especially close to Colleen and Teresa. They are so warm and understanding. Since you have left I have become the mentor for Lung Cancer. I have multifocal adenocarcinoma of the lung. I have this type of cancer for 12+ years and another 10 years before that.
Through Colleen's unique ability to bring more mentors into Connect we can now share more mentoring and let her have more time for admin work and making sure that we are all doing what needs to be doing. lol We find that the more people who share their stories and experiences actually help others. We are quite a community here!
I hope that you will feel safe amongst those of us who have had similar cancers to share your story. I'm sure that it will help all of us!

Hi Nancy @shortshot80, welcome back to Mayo Clinic Connect. It is so good to hear from you again. I'm sure Teresa @hopeful33250 will be equally delighted to get an update from you and hear what has been going on the past 6 months.
How are you doing?
