Hello members,


Over the last year I have really enjoyed being your Community Manager. You have all inspired me with your stories of strength facing your different conditions and you have opened my mind through reading your discussions.


It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to you all.emoticon frown-big I wish you all the very best going forward and I hope you all continue using Carenity and finding it a useful support tool.


It’s my pleasure to introduce Michael who will be moderating the UK forum from here on out. Be sure to give him a hearty welcome and don’t hesitate to contact him with your questions or concerns.


Much love,


Josephine

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the welcome.

My name is Deborah and I was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer stage 4 two years ago.

I have had chemo and radiotherapy and at the moment I am stable and not having to go back to

see the doctors till January. 

I had my flu jab a couple of weeks ago and according to the pharmacist I have had a reaction to it which has caused my glands to swell. Feel better today 🤞will improve now.

The weather doesn’t help when your not feeling well. My thoughts are with the families suffering the floods.
