Lung cancer -

Hi, my name is Jenny. I have just been diagnosed with lung cancer. Doctors are advising me to have Pleurodesis surgery. I am please wondering if anyone has experience with this surgery? Thanks so much. Kind regards, Jenny 🙏🩷

Re: Lung cancer -

Hi Jenny,

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

I haven't had lung cancer or the surgery you mentioned, but I just wanted to welcome you and wish you well.

Hi Jenny

 

Welcome to Cancer Council's Online Community.  I hope you find it to be a supportive space.

This is the link to information Cancer Council has on it's website regarding treatment for lung cancer.  I hope you find it helpful, hopefully maybe someone from the community will also share their experience.

If you live in Australia, you can also call Cancer Council's help line, they may be able to help answer some questions that you have about the surgery,

 

Warm regards
