In honour of World Lung Cancer Day, Lung Foundation Australia look forward to presenting this webinar on survivorship and psychosocial care, where we delve into the critical aspects of life post-treatment.
Our panel features two experienced lung cancer specialist nurses and two inspiring lung cancer consumers who will share their lived experiences. Together, they will explore the multifaceted challenges of navigating life after lung cancer treatment, including emotional well-being, social support, and practical strategies for managing long-term health.
Both pre-submitted and live questions from participants joining the webinar will be answered by the panel.
