Description

A lung cancer diagnosis affects more than the body. It reaches into your thoughts, your emotions, and the way you see your future. In this episode of Breathe Strong , the panel talk openly about mental health. They share what it feels like to face surgery alone, wait for scan results, live with uncertainty, and carry the emotional load that often goes unseen. You’ll hear honest reflections on scanxiety, stigma, counselling, community support, and the quiet strength found in connection, routine, and being understood by others who truly get it. There is no single right way to cope. This conversation reminds you that mental health support can take many forms, and that you don’t have to face this journey on your own.
