Hello @wylie and a warm welcome to our online community, how are things?

I'm sorry you've got so much on your plate right now, how are you coping? Do you have enough support with your conditions from your GP or hospital team?

Please let us know if you have any specific questions. If not, feel free to get more familiar with the community by visiting our various categories and our recent discussions.

Take care and hope to speak again soon.

Hi, thanks for the welcome. Things aren't too bad at the moment, no side effects from the chemo after a week 
I have to say that I have had amazing support from the Colorectal nurses, Stoma care nurses, Oncology team and endocrinology team. The Somerset lung centre is a great idea - dedicated team of people specifically trained for lung issues. All of the above helps to keep things on track and my mental health in check. I don't have any specific questions at the moment, thanks.
