Call the Lung Cancer Awareness Toll-Free Information Line for Lung Cancer support. Lung cancer patients often report feelings of intense isolation. Many feel shunned by family and friends who are struggling with complex emotions, and too few are aware of their full range of treatment. Although treatments have improved over the last 10-15 years, the reality is that half of lung cancer patients who might benefit from newer drugs are never referred to a medical oncologist. Lung cancer patients often need more counseling and support than they receive.
Increased knowledge can reduce fear and increase chances of survival.
