Hi @lioness, to change your email address - click on your your profile picture at the top right of the screen to the left of the Request Appointment button. Then select Account Settings. Under Account Settings, click the Edit button to the right of your Email Address setting. Then you should be able to change and save your new email address.

There is a really good Getting Started on Connect write up that you can find in the links at bottom of each window on Connect. It goes here:

I had a lobectomy on Wednesday for lung cancer. It’s taking me a while to recover and they are sending me to Rehab today. It’s been a very worrying time for me and my family. It was Stage 1, caught early so that’s a plus.

Hi @marylou705
Wednesday isn't that long ago. It does take time to recover from such a major surgery as a lobectomy. I'm glad that you will be going to rehab to help with the recovery process.

It would be nice for you to report your progress to the member's of the Lung Cancer group. I'm sure other members there would love to hear how you are doing and give you support along the way. Here's where you posted to the group:

Colleen, I’m not sure how to get on the lung cancer group, not being a whizz kid with computers. I can’t actually figure out how to do this. Thanks.
