hi folks I will get my chemo next week for stage 4 lung cancer and hope for the best!  I have to say I appreciate all that the NHS is doing for me!! apart from that though I happened to observe that after after falling victim to adverts that are very very misleading! I won't go too far but I have had "help and support" coming out of my ears in the last month and yet my bank account still shows tuppence halfpenny!  Having given up my part time job to deal with this unwelcome condition I know what real help and support would be for me at this point!!     sorry folks.   ranting I know but hey ho.      all the very best everyone x.   cheers   Stevie

  • Hello Stevie

    I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I'm sure that it was most unwelcome news to hear, but it's good to know that the team are offering you some treatment, and hopefully this will stabilise and improve things for you. 

    We have some information about financial support and cancer that may be of help. In particular, this information about benefits if you have advanced cancer may be useful. Hopefully, you will be able to access some support to help make things a little easier while you're going through treatment. 

    If it would help to talk things through with one of our nurses at any point, you're welcome to give them a call. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Do keep in touch Stevie and let us know how you get on with your treatment next week. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes,
