Re: chemo

Hello @ann1956 and welcome to the community 💛

 

How are you recovering from the lobectomy?

 

As you are recently diagnosed and facing treatment choices, you may find it helpful to chat with one of our Cancer Connect volunteers here at Cancer Council, that may have had the same cancer as yourself or have had the same treatments, or even both. Please give the team a call on (02) 9334-1870 and they can have a chat with you about the program.

 

You may also like to listen to our podcast on making treatment decisions.
