Lung cancer tests

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a bit of advice. My dad was told last Thursday that he had lung cancer. Half of his left lung and three lymph nodes in his throat have been confirmed by the nurse after he had a scan.

He has another test next Thursday for a camera to go down and to take a swab of the area.

I feel so helpess in helping my dad as he is in pain and the not knowing part is starting to get him down. I am looking for a bit of advice from people who may of gone through this what to expect and if there is anything I can do to help him through this.

Thanks for reading this. x

  • Welcome to the forum Monty although I'm sorry to read about your dad's lung cancer diagnosis.

    It can be difficult for family members and friends but I hope this information we have on our website about supporting a loved one with cancer will help.

    We also have a section about lung cancer in case you want to read up on it but hopefully some of our lung cancer members and friends or family of someone with lung cancer will pop by soon to offer their support and advice.

    Best wishes to you and your dad,
