My Dad has Lung Cancer !

I'm absolutely devastated my Dad has watched his own Daughter go through Cancer and beat it ! But now my Dad has Lung Cancer, he also has underlying conditions which are COPD, Emphysema, Pulmonary Fibrosis, Cervical Disc Hypertension, CT scan showed a shadow on the lung but they said it's Lung Cancer, they are unable to take a biopsy and unable to offer treatment, I'm one of those people that has to prepare and I'm unable to prepare myself with the not knowing whats going to happen and how long he has.

  • Hello Tishie

    I'm sorry to hear about the news your Dad has recently been given. It must be very hard having so many unanswered questions. What has the Consultant said is the plan for your Dad's care? Has he been referred to the palliative care team? They should be able to give you some support and information more specific to your Dad's situation. 

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses then you're welcome to give them a call. I'm sure they will be able to offer some advice and support. If you want to chat to them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
