Lung Cancer

My husband was diagnosed with lung cancer yesterday. They say there's traces in his liver & bowel. My stomach is churning with worry. He's getting biopsies done on Wednesday. 

  • A very warm welcome to the forum Lou although I'm sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis.

    I know this must be a very scary and worrying time for you both but the Cancer Chat community are here for you Lou, and I'm sure some of our members who have been on this journey will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    You can find out more about lung cancer on our website, but if you or your husband would like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, they're just a phone call away. They can be contacted on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to support you and address any other questions or concerns you may have at this time.

    We're thinking of you Lou and wishing your husband all the best with his biopsies on Wednesday.

    Kind regards,
