Hi everyone my dad has just been diagnosed with a rare type of lung cancer it has taken 3 months to get a diagnosis is this normal to be waiting so long many thanks
I am so sorry to hear about your dad's lung cancer diagnosis. 3 months is a long time to have been waiting to get a diagnosis but you mentioned he has been diagnosed with a rare type of lung cancer so perhaps the diagnosis process took a little longer as a result. Would you mind telling us a little bit more about the rare type of lung cancer he has been diagnosed with? If you have more details about this rare lung cancer, we'd be interested to find out more and perhaps there will be other members of our community who have had a similar diagnosis that we can put you in touch with.
If you have any questions which is likely after the shock of the diagnosis, feel free to give our cancer nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and they will be happy to talk things through with you and point you in the right direction.
We're thinking of you and your dad during this difficult time.
