The family is important in providing support and caring for the patient and it is important to provide support in terms of home help, respite care, counselling on a continuing basis. Lung cancer can affect breathing by interfering with the normal function of the lung by one of three processes. The first is when a tumor blocks off an airway and essentially takes that piece of lung out of commission.. Studies document that spouses are as distressed as cancer patients and that spousal and patient distress are correlated. Three major areas of caregiver concern are: fear of cancer and its spread, helping patients deal with the emotional ramifications of the disease, and managing the disruptions caused by cancer. From 20% to 30% of partners suffer from psychological impairment and mood disturbance as a result of the spouse's cancer.
