Living with lung cancer - Introduce yourself & come say hi

Welcome to the Lung Cancer group on Mayo Clinic Connect.
This is a welcoming, safe place where you can meet people living with lung cancer or caring for someone with lung cancer. Let's learn from each other and share stories about living well with cancer, coping with the challenges and offering tips.

I'm Colleen, and I'm the moderator of this group, and Community Director of Connect. Chances are you'll to be greeted by volunteer patient Mentors and fellow members when you post to this group. Learn more about Moderators and Mentors on Connect.

We look forward to welcoming you and introducing you to other members. Feel free to browse the topics or start a new one.
Let's chat. Why not start by introducing yourself?

What an amazing opportunity for lung cancer patients, lung patient survivors and loved ones to connect when dealing with this horrific disease.
I am a 10 year lung cancer survivor. I never smoked. I understand the pain, unfair blame & shame that comes with this disease! Yes, I have learned, through Mayo Clinic Researchers, that lung cancer is a disease! No one deserves additional or unnecessary battle(s) when fighting this battle. My husband stood by my hospital bed (post op.? after surgeons removed most of my left lung) and for five hours and said, "Breath, Breath, Breath!" It was the toughest thing I have ever done!

So let's connect and help each other live the best quality of life possible, ok?

I hope that by sharing my story and passion to save Lungs & Lives, we will be able to accept this disease and together help make memorable changes for Doctors, Researchers, Care Givers, Loved Ones and Ourselves!

I'm ready to blow lung cancer away, will you please help ?

Linda
