    My husband was diagnosed on January 2012 with non small cell lung cancer. It was a terrible shock to all of us in the family. He went through his radiam and chemo and still managed to drive to the Beatson. I accompanied him always. This helped him enormously. To have someone there all the time really...

    Blimey! I didn't expect this response! You two have helped already just by responding as you did. I know I'm not alone, but this helps me realise I'm not. I'm not much of a blogger so I doubt if I will be here much. I think he's got non small cell adenocarcinoma (I can't find...
