In honour of World Lung Cancer Day, we look forward to presenting this panel which will showcase the lived experiences of people living with lung cancer, and their carers.
Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with your lung condition for a while, hearing from others who understand what you are going through can make all the difference. Our panel will share their learnings, coping tips, and stories of hope to support you to live your best life with lung cancer.
A live Q&A session will be available for you to put forward your questions to our panel.
Date: Monday 1 August 2022
Time: 12:00pm (QLD, NSW, VIC, TAS), 11:30am (NT, SA), 10:00am (WA)
