Meg's Medical Advice

Hello! My name is Meg and this is my new blog. I am not a doctor and I do not have any formal medical training. However, what I do have is a lot of experience of hospitals, clinics and disease. I was diagnosed with lung cancer two years ago. When I received the news, I was devastated. Thankfully, I had a great medical team around me who looked after me every step of the way. My doctor explained everything I needed to know about my illness and how I could help myself to recover. I am now in remission and I want to help others who are unwell.
