Hello NMJLM and welcome to our forum! 

I am sorry to hear about your family member - I can imagine the news must have come as as real shock to you. Your family member's specialist will be in the best position to tell you more as to whether full lung removal will be an option or whether there are other treatment options to consider. I hope that you will find out more soon about this. 

Should you wish to talk things through with our cancer nurses, don't hesitate to give them a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

I hope everything goes well for your family member and that you get more information soon as to what the best options will be. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
