Resources

To help explain lung cancer to your friends, family, colleagues and other people you know, we can send you these resources.

They can be particularly helpful to hand out at functions, lunches and awareness events.

DVD

This DVD has been produced by Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre with the support of The Australian Lung Foundation.

Lung Cancer, Understanding, Managing, Living looks at what happens when a person is diagnosed with lung cancer through to available treatments and living with cancer. It provides expert medical information from a team of health professionals involved in caring for people with lung cancer, as well as experiences from people living with lung cancer.

If you or someone you love has lung cancer this DVD may help you understand and make sense of what is happening, and what others have experienced.

It contains information split into 19 short chapters.
