You can play an important role in helping a loved one protect their health by getting a lung cancer screening, if they are at risk for lung cancer.

Yearly screening for people at risk for lung cancer can help save lives by finding it earlier before it has spread.

When lung cancer is found early, before it has spread, it is more likely to be curable.
However, thinking about the disease can be scary, and it\u2019s common for someone to feel anxiety or fear around screening for lung cancer. They may feel fear of the unknown or fear of the test itself.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n \n\n

To convince someone who may be afraid of getting screened it\u2019s important to show them that they aren\u2019t alone and you\u2019re there to support them every step of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you take this important step to help your loved one get screened you may find yourself wearing a lot of hats \u2013 teacher, cheerleader, note-taker. But the most important thing you can do is just be there for support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use this guide to help you start a conversation with your loved one about lung cancer screening, to prep them for discussions with their doctor and to support them throughout the screening process.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
