Hello all, my husband has recently been diagnosed with a Pancoast tumour. Lung cancer. He has just come out of the hospice. Chemo is starting on Monday. what should we expect on the unit and how will he feel after having the drip. ?
I am sorry to hear about your husband's recent diagnosis and I hope that he is not feeling too nervous about starting chemotherapy on Monday. There is information on our website about pancoast tumours which I hope you will find useful and you can read more about treatment for lung cancer on this page. More information about chemotherapy treatment for lung cancer can be found here. I hope this will help him prepare for his first chemotherapy session.
Our nurses are available on this free number 0808 800 4040 if you would like to talk things through with them or ask them any questions. Their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
I hope that you will hear from other forum members who have been diagnosed with a pancoast tumour or have looked after a loved one who was affected by this type of lung cancer and that they will be along shortly to share their story with you.
Best of luck to your husband for his chemotherapy treatment on Monday. I hope that everything goes well for him and that he doesn't suffer any significant side effects.
