Lung Cancer

Find the support you need
Joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems can help with the stress of a major illness.

Support programs exist in a variety of formats, including counseling, support groups, and self-help programs. For those who cannot attend meetings, there are also on-line mechanisms that may allow a patient to "chat" with other people facing similar situations. These types of programs can provide a way for you to relate your experience firsthand with others and may provide treatment-related tips about drug side-effects that will be helpful to you.

Care Imaging has a cancer care co-ordinator which can put you in touch with support groups and other types of self-help programs.
