Our support groups are such a good way to connect with other's in a similar situation, they have really helped so many people make friendships and gain valuable knowledge around their treatment and care. If you have any queries about anything please get in touch, we would love to hear from you and help in any way that we can.

All online groups are held over Zoom, last for one hour and are hosted by a trained facilitator.

NEW GROUPS -

Lung Cancer Surgery Support - If you are recovering or about to undergo surgery then this group would be really beneficial. New group starting on Tuesday 19th of March. This group will run weekly for 8 weeks every Tuesday evening - 7- 8pm.

Genetic Mutation Lung Cancer Support - If you have been diagnosed with a genetic mutation then this group is suitable, it doesn't matter which mutation. As this is quite a specific group who are on targeted therapy, it is nice to have people who are in a similar boat. New group starting on Wednesday 20th of March. This group will run weekly for 8 weeks every Wednesday evening - 6.30-7.30pm.

Thanks for republicising these valuable groups. People often under-estimate the support and friendships these offer - not only when they take place but in between and later on too. Learning how others have coped or are coping can make us all feel less alone with our conditions and their impact on our lives. Having a carers' space is also really important - as their needs even if they don't see themselves as 'carers' but simply supporting their loved ones is frequently underestimated. thanks for all you do to support those affected by lung cancer.
