Lung cancer

Hi my mum just been diagnosed with lung cancer . I'm trying to be brave there waiting on a chest x ray as they think she has pneumonia. I've never had to deal with anything like this before . What can I do to support my mum when chemo starts thanks 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Angusmummy43 although I'm very sorry to hear that your mum's been diagnosed with lung cancer.

    We have a wealth of information about lung cancer on our website but I hope the tips and advice we have for family, friends and caregivers on how to support someone with cancer (emotionally and practically) will help.

    I'm sure some of our members will offer their support and share their experiences with you soon but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses then do be sure to give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to help.

    I hope it isn't along until your mum can have the x-ray and you find out what happens next.

    Best wishes to you both,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
