Positive stories about lung cancer???

My dad has a lung nodule that has grown and so the doctors want to take it out along with part of his lung.

Does anyone have any positive stories to calm me down?
I think it is quite small and as far as we know there is not spread, and I guess the fact that they are operating means they think it's curable...

  • Hello hoolydooly and welcome to Cancer Chat! 

    I hope that you will hear lots of positive stories from some of our members who have been affected by lung cancer and who have had the same type of surgery. It's good that it seems to be quite small and that it hasn't spread and I hope that the operation will be a success. 

    There is information on lung cancer on our website here which I hope will be helpful to you. You will also find out more here about surgery for lung cancer which I hope will answer some of the questions you may have ahead of the operation. If you want to talk things through, feel free also to give our cancer nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope everything goes well for your dad and that the treatment works well for him. 

    Best wishes,
