Hello Jp51

I'm sorry to hear about your Dad's diagnosis. I hope that his recovery is progressing well. 

If you have a local Maggie's centre then I'd certainly suggest getting in touch with them. They do have well-being support staff but lots of the centres also run a men's meeting where the gents can get together over a cuppa and talk. I don't know if this is something that might appeal to your Dad. 

You could also have a look at the Asthma & Lung UK website as well as the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation to see what is happening with their support groups and services across the country. 

It's also worth having a chat with your Dad's specialist nurse, GP, or the team who has been responsible for his care. They will be able to let you know about any local support groups/meetings that your Dad could access or arrange a referral if appropriate. 

Alternatively, your Dad is very welcome to give our team of nurses a call. I'm sure they will be happy to chat with him and offer any support and reassurance that they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

Best wishes,
