Meet our newly appointed Chair: Angela Terry
A bit about me. I was diagnosed from a chest x-ray taken following a minor skiing accident in January 2019. Like many of us I was asymptomatic and an active, fit, never smoker. All a huge shock but here we are 3 years later and I am still here, still asymptomatic.
In these 3 years in addition to attempting to learn to play golf (which I have ditched!) I have been able to celebrate some huge family milestones: my first Grandchild born, my son married and this year our 45th wedding anniversary. We were indeed teenage sweethearts!
I was a Business Psychologist, initially within organisations until 1990 when I started my own practice. I worked with a wide range of organisations in several different business sectors including Pharmaceutical. As you can imagine that is proving to be very handy just now. I stopped work shortly after diagnosis mainly because my role involved a lot of long-haul travel and I found I was anxious about being too far away from the NHS.
I am grateful to have worked as a Trustee for the last 18 months . This gave me time with Jenny and Kathy and during that time I developed a strong sense of their vision for the charity. It is a huge privilege to be given the opportunity to build on what they created and I look forward, together with the Trustees, to establishing the charity as a powerful force within the Lung Cancer community.
