Lung Cancer: Breathing Easier
Type:
Educational Support Meeting
Summary:
This is a diagnosis-specific meeting that is co-led by social workers and nurses, and is tailored to give people an opportunity to work on adjustment to life after treatment. This may include changes in physical functioning, appearance, and lifestyle, altered self-image, fatigue, isolation, and concerns about the future. We encourage people to share concerns while gathering medical and rehabilitation information from health care staff.
