This is an online support group for lung cancer patients, their families and friends. It is a closed group. We are not medical experts and advocate following your doctor's advice and encourage people to get second opinions.

Members in this group can exchange information about clinical trials, diagnosis, treatments, concerns, and share their fears and hopes in a spam-free environment. When you are communicating please no personal attacks, name calling, and/or challenging the beliefs of others. Members need support, not harassment.

You will have access to features such as archived messages, files, links, photos, and can post in celebration of or in memory of the battle against lung cancer. We encourage uploading of photos.

Please indicate "WHY" you want to join this group. As a spam guard all messages are moderated. The public cannot view your posts. This group is not open to researchers who want to survey members on what it is like to have lung cancer, or fundraisers who want to solicit donations. This is a lung cancer support group.

Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in both men and women. It kills more Americans each year than breast, prostate, colorectal, liver, kidney and melanoma cancers combined.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Researchers, spammers and political commentators are prohibited. Violators will be banned/reported. "No Email" is not an option for this group. If you prefer to read online, please sign up for "Special Notices."


This Yahoo health group was created for Mrs. Patricia "Pat" Pyle. She found out she had cancer after Hurricane Isabel hit the area on 18 SEP 03, and given only a few months to live. She passed on 12 FEB 05.
