@sierracharlie-Every group offers the chance for people to offer advice based on their own experiences. I think it would be redundant to offer a free for all unless I'm not understanding what you mean. Advice that is not based on science or personal experience leads to a lot of misinformation or spam-type things, or people wanting to sell things. We don't want to be another FaceBook.

If you have a specific topic that you thinks needs more attention for a new chat or new topic then by all means spit it out! lol. Thank you for your suggestion! I'm all for doing something different within the guidelines set by Mayo Clinic and Colleen.

I love that you are thinking like this. Did I misunderstand you?

Uh yes, I think there is a little misunderstanding. Every time someone new comes onboard, they have lots of questions. Some are questions they don't even know they have. That's why I was thinking of maybe a one-stop that can cover many questions that we have, especially in the beginning.

We are all different so we have different questions. It would be my hope that someone could post something that would help someone else, especially those who are new, to ask more questions. Obviously the responses to those questions are very specific to the patient and others won't apply to all patients. That said, it might be helpful to some people here to have a site that deals with some of the many questions that patients may ask. I hope this better explains what I have in mind.

Merry,

Didn't you recently have a ct of your lungs. How did it turn out ?
