[RoyCastleHelpline Partner Ask the Nurse Roy Castle]

Hello Goonie,

welcome to our on line community, you will find here support of others who are going through a similar journey, often willing to share their experiences and offer advice. This will be a worrying time for you both, has the Lung Cancer Specialist nurse been in touch with you yet? they can be a valuable source of information and advice and often work closely with the oncologist in charge of your mums care.

We have an information pack on Lung Cancer called Answering your Questions which can be ordered on line at the Roy Castle web site, there is also a booklet on radiotherapy which you may find helpful, I have added a link below where you can view it on line, or it can also be posted out to you. We have a nurse led helpline and we would be happy to speak to you and answer any questions that you may have, freephone 0800 358 7200

Kind regards
