Hello from Lee in London - Stage IV-b

Hello everyone;

My name is Lee and I have EC with mets to the liver and lymph nodes. My wife is Daisylin in these forums, and BTW it's London Canada, not England

I've been lurking for a few months and want to thank you all for contributing to a very valuable resource, and how empowering to find a focused forum populated by such courage. I also think it's important for patients to learn of the experiences of others; I know that before diagnosis the guy in the wheelchair was a "them"... the man with the medical appliance on the subway was a "them". At the moment of diagnosis we are all very clearly reminded that there is just "us", and we're all in this together.

I think that forums like this help patients and caregivers to act more as a team, I know that Chantal would go stir crazy if she wasn't actively involved in my care. Having a curiosity and a determination to sift through all the information overload out there really helps.

So helloto all, and I look forward to contributing to the EC forum.

- Lee
