Hello Guernsey-girl-1
I'm so sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis of lung cancer. It's understandable that you may be experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions and have lots of questions at the moment. Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for your next appointment with the specialist and they will be able to give you some answers and reassurance.
We know that many people turn to the internet for information following a cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately, what most often happens is that people are left feeling even more worried so try to avoid this if you can.
We do have some information that you may find helpful over the coming days and weeks about lung cancer on our website. You might also want to think about calling our team of nurses at some point to chat things through with them as well. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information, and support they can as well as help you think about the kinds of questions you might want to ask the specialists. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
Keep in touch Guernsey-girl-1 and let us know how you're getting on.
Best wishes,
Jenn
