Husband diagnosed with cancer of the lung.

I am a 64 year old woman and married.  My husband has very recently been diagnosed with cancer of the lung.  I would like to pose some questions and hopefully get some advice on how to go forward.

    Hi Sariek,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I am so sorry to hear about your husband's lung cancer diagnosis. What stage is his cancer?

    I myself have breast cancer, so I'm not much help to you. However I did care for my Mum for 12 years. She also had primary breast cancer, but this metastasised into her liver, lungs, brain and bone in the latter stages. If you are looking for an answer to medical problems you are probably best to contact the nurses on this site, but if you are just looking for first-hand experience of practical matters, then I can possibly help you.

    You might also find it helpful to use the search engine on the blue bar at the top of this page and pop in 'lung cancer'. This should bring up previous posts on the subject and introduce you to people who have first-hand experience of this. I hope that you find this helpful.

    Please keep us in the loop and let us know how he is getting on. Remember, there is always someone here for you whenever you feel like talking.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
