For over 25 years, Living with Lung Cancer has been helping patients and their loved ones face the future with greater hope and confidence.

Lung cancer is a scary disease. The new patient is understandably confused and frightened. The future is uncertain, and it's filled with a dazzling array of unfamiliar medical and surgical terms and procedures. Living with Lung Cancer helps people cope -- with the disease, it treatments and (maybe most of all) their nameless fears.

By interviewing a large number of patients and their spouses, the authors learned the countless questions they have, including those that patients find difficult to ask in a doctor's office.

Diagnostic tests
Treatments and their side effects
