Lung cancer, possible chemical exposure

Hi

I am new and am looking for a bit of advice.

I have had surgery and am undergoing chemo.  

It is very possible that I could have been exposed to industrial chemicals (unknowingly) for over 20 years.  Does anyone know where to go about being tested?

Thank you in advance. 

  • Hi Jeanette1,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I hope you're getting on OK.

    You may find it helpful to speak to our nurses about this - they may have some advice to offer. If you'd like to do this, you can either post in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum, or you can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    You can of course also discuss this with your doctor.

    Wishing you all the best,
