Hi, My partner has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer, doctors were unable to get a biopsy and so unable to give a full diagnosis. His doctors and surgeon have said he needs to have a pneumonectomy (right lung) due to the positioning of the tumour. Surgery is planned within the next couple of weeks. From my point of view i want to know how best to support him through this, what should i expect etc. Is there anything i should be aware of, side effects, overall health.
Also during this time of Covid I am feeling a bit personally overwhelmed as i am anxious following surgery he needs to be 'shielded' more then ever. Since dignosis we have both remained indoors, except for exercise, to be fair we'd been doing this anyway, but is there any extra advice anyone might have i would be grateful.
thank you
