Describes the support she received from her lung cancer specialist nurse and the nurses who ran the chemotherapy ward.

 



Right when I found out I was going have the chemo there was, well when I got the results of knowing I was going have chemo, there was a lung cancer specialist nurse there with me. And then she took me down to the ward, to the chemo nurses and I think I must have been in a good two hours and they talked me through everything, you know even chatted to me about my family and the children like you know. And they were so compassionate, they were really wonderful. And, that made it a lot easier knowing that I'd got to go there on the Friday because this was the Tuesday. They told me what, what drug I was having, the two different drugs and how it worked and they just went through everything, really nice girls, really nice.
