Better Living with Lung Cancer – A Patient Guide

Lung Foundation Australia developed this booklet to help people diagnosed with lung cancer understand more about lung cancer, its diagnosis and treatment. You will find information to explain what lung cancer is, its causes, the symptoms and the different types of lung cancer. While it has been developed for the person with Lung Cancer, families and carers will also find it useful, as will health professionals caring for those with Lung Cancer.

Copies of Better Living with Lung Cancer can be purchased for $15 plus postage.  To order your copy email us on enquiries@lungfoundation.com.au or call us on 1800 654 301 or download the Resource Order Form.
