Hi everyone I have recently been diagnosed with stage 1b lung cancer I am only 50 so I have been told is very young I am having an op to remove my right lower lobe. It just doesn’t feel real. Is there anyone else of this age ??

  • A very warm welcome to the forum Carsey1974 although I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with stage 1b lung cancer.

    Finding out you have cancer can bring about so many thoughts and emotions, but we are here for you Carsey1974 and sending you all our support.

    You can find out more about lung cancer surgery on our website but if you have any further questions or concerns, or would just like to talk things through with someone, then do give our cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and will do all that they can to help.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been on this journey will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice but in the meantime, we're thinking of you Carsey1974 and wishing you all the best with your treatment.
