Hi there: recently got news of lung cancer

Recently got news of lung cancer surgery next Monday I'm lost 

  • Hi Budda, 

    I am so sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with lung cancer and I wanted to share with you the information we have on our website on lung cancer where you will find out more about treatment for lung cancer including surgery

    I hope that everything goes well - best of luck for the surgery and if you get a chance do come back here and let us know how it all went. I just wanted you to know that you are not alone and there are other members of our community who have been affected by lung cancer and just this evening I replied to  -  this member's dad was diagnosed a while ago with non small cell lung cancer as you can read in his story and I hope that you will hear from some of our members who have been affected by lung cancer. It helps sometimes to talk to others who find themselves in a similar boat. 

    I thought I would also give you our nurse helpline so that you can call them Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm if there is anything you would like to talk through either prior your operation or afterwards - the number to call is free and it's 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope all goes well for you and wishing you a quick and full recovery.

    Best wishes,
