I have just been told that my mum has lung cancer and a benign tumour in her brain she lives in America and I live in the uk I feel complete helpless I don’t know what to do
I'm sorry to hear about your mum and how it's affecting you. It's natural to feel helpless especially when there's such a distance, but I'm sure you're supporting her as much as possible. If you ever struggle with what to do, we have some guidance for family, friends and carers.
If you'd like any information on your mum's diagnosis, we have guidance and advice around lung cancer on our website. We also have a cancer nurse helpline, which you can call for free if you'd like to speak to someone from the team. The number is 0808 800 4040 and lines open from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday. Your mum may be aware of these organisations in America, but I wanted to share a list of US organisations in case they may be able to offer support in her area.
