Living with a lung cancer diagnosis can be challenging, but you don't have to face it alone. We’re here to support you with a welcoming and understanding community where you can connect with others who share similar experiences and find a safe space to express your concerns and find comfort.
Recognising lung cancer symptoms can be tricky. A persistent cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue can be mistaken for other ailments, but it is essential to take control of your health and get checked, just to make sure.
With You Every Breath of the Way
In March 2013, I was diagnosed with lung cancer after breaking a couple of ribs in a skiing accident. An X-ray revealed a tumour on my lung, making my broken ribs seem like a minor issue in comparison. I was referred to the Chartwell Centre at the Princess Royal Hospital in Farnborough.
It was there that I met Nicky Deloble, who became my Lung Nurse. After our consultation, I was sent to Guys Hospital in London, where I met the incredible team who would perform the surgery to remove my tumour.
In May 2013, I underwent surgery, and the aftercare I received was nothing short of fabulous.
When Nicky asked me to join the support group, I fully embraced her idea of helping others. Being part of this group has been a wonderful way to give back and support those who are going through similar experiences.
