Lung Cancer Support Groups Online

Lung cancer comes with a question many people with other illnesses are never asked, which is whether you brought it on yourself. ShareWell has free online support groups for people living with serious illness where nobody asks that, and you can join from a chair at home on a day when breathing takes effort.

Live groups available daily.

Topic context

Understanding lung cancer

Living with lung cancer often means managing breathlessness and fatigue alongside treatment and regular scans. Many people also face the question of whether they smoked, which can add blame to an illness that is already heavy, and people who never smoked get lung cancer too and are asked the same thing.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with lung cancer

Peer support can help with lung cancer because stigma makes many people keep quiet about their diagnosis. In a group you can talk about fear, fatigue and the wait for results with people who are not judging how you got here.

Inside the room

What lung cancer groups often cover

  • Being asked whether you smoked, and how that feels
  • Breathlessness, tiredness and planning your day around energy
  • The days of waiting before and after a scan
  • Talking with family about what comes next

ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Good fit for

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a lung cancer group?

There is no group for lung cancer alone right now. What you see here are groups for people with any long-term or serious illness, plus calm sessions like breathwork and mindfulness, and you are welcome in each of them.

Will people judge me if I smoked?

Groups are for support. Members are asked to listen without blame, and hosts keep the conversation respectful.

I get tired quickly. How long is a group?

Each group lists its length before you reserve a spot, and you can leave early if you need to rest.

Where can I find medical information about lung cancer?

LUNGevity Foundation (lungevity.org) and GO2 for Lung Cancer (go2.org), whose HelpLine is 1-800-298-2436, both support patients and caregivers.
