Lung cancer is the second most common type of cancer in the UK, and the most common cancer worldwide. Around 38,000 people are diagnosed with lung cancer every year in the UK. How we can help If you or someone close to you has been diagnosed with lung cancer and you are finding it difficult to cope with the impact of the disease, you may find it helpful to talk to a specialist cancer counsellor about your fears and hopes. The Cancer Counselling Trust provides a series of free, confidential sessions, both face to face and over the phone. You do not need a doctor’s referral and we try to keep waiting times to a minimum. If you have any questions about our counselling service please complete our online contact form. If you have a medical enquiry or want further information on lung cancer please contact either Cancerbackup on Freephone 0808 800 1234 or Cancer Help UK on 0808 800 4040. To enquire about counselling please call us on 020 7704 1137 and talk to the counselling co-ordinator to see how we may be able to help.
