Living with lung cancer

A diagnosis and the treatment of lung cancer can affect your life in many different ways. Tell your doctor if symptoms such as pain, sickness or breathlessness are troubling you, as these can often be controlled with treatment.

For information on living with cancer, including support groups and wide variety of information and support service options that are local to you contact the NHSCT Macmillan Information and Support Service or visit the Northern Ireland Cancer Network website.
