Lung cancer

My partner was diagnosed with lung cancer last week. It has spread to the lymph nodes close by. He is to have 4 weeks chemo and radiotherapy. I am devestated. Can anybody please advise me regarding his prognosis?

  • Welcome to our forum Sasspads2.

    I’m very sorry to hear that your partner was diagnosed with lung cancer last week and that you are, understandably, devastated.

    When will your partner start his treatment, if you don’t mind me asking?

    As I'm not part of his medical team it is difficult for me to give you advice about his prognosis but we do have many members here on Cancer Chat who are going through lung cancer so feel free to browse our forum for stories similar to your partner’s and join the conversation, our members are very supportive and I’m sure they’ll be willing to share their experiences with you.

    If at any point you feel like speaking to someone on the phone please know our cancer nurses are available on this free number 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    Best wishes to you both,
