Support is something we all need during certain stages of our lives, to cope with difficult situations. Lung Disease can be a stressful life event. Apart from the physical symptoms, you may feel depressed, anxious, worried, irritable, isolated and confused. Patient support is all about helping you to manage and control your symptoms, overcome these feelings and feel confident and happy again. Patient support can help you and your carer find enjoyment in a renewed quality of life through information, friendship, encouragement and shared experiences. Patient support is not just for patients it is for families and carers who often need support as well. They also feel stress and concerns about what is happening and need the opportunity to learn and to meet with others to share experiences.
