Diagnosing and Treating Lung Cancer

The days and weeks after discovering you have lung cancer can be a very confusing and even frightening time. Most likely, there will be many medical tests which need to be performed to confirm the type of lung cancer, the size of the tumour and whether it has spread outside of the lungs. Very soon after finding out you have lung cancer, decisions have to be made on what treatment to have.
