Lung cancer

Hi

My husband has just been told he has lung cancer, currently waiting on a PET scan to see if it has spread. He only smoked for 3 years (10 a day) and that was 18 years ago. He is 52

What can I do to help him. I feel so useless, I'm trying to be positive, but keep getting upset.

Any advise would help

Thank you x

 

  • Hi there, I'm sorry to see your husband has lung cancer.  Not all lung cancers are related to smoking, there is more than one type of lung cancer. Do you know what type he has and what stage? Try and be strong for him and available to listen when he needs you. I know it's hard for us on the outside but it must be even harder for a strong man to have to support himself and others emotionally. How does he seem? Hopefully the scan will show its treatable and hasn't spread. X
