“I have lung cancer, now what?” The days following a lung cancer diagnosis are often a blur of confusion, fear, doctor’s appointments, and tough conversations with family and friends. How to get the right diagnosis? First and foremost, it feels like treatment needs to start happening NOW, but rest assured, you have time to set up a treatment plan that works for you.
