From memory (it's been a while and feels like a lifetime) it was Megan who found me searching in desperation for information on our cancer council website - I am forever grateful. Steve was newly diagnosed and I was trying to find as much information as I could on SCC. Thankfully I ended up here.

I check in a few times a week, sometimes just as a lurker but if I feel I can help in some way will always try smile

This group has been my sole support group. Love each and every one of you. My mum is my rock in the real world.
