Your lung cancer care at Henry Ford isn’t only about diagnosis and treatment. Your dedicated nurse navigator will be there to help answer any questions you have and help guide you toward support services as you move into survivorship — the period of your life after your treatment for lung cancer.
How you approach survivorship is unique to you and your situation. We’re here to support you however we can. We offer many services to promote healthy, sustained lung cancer survivorship. In addition, we work with other reputable organizations to connect you with the resources and support you need.

Certain chemotherapies can cause inflammation or directly damage the nerves, causing neuropathy. Neuropathy, which causes pain, tingling, burning or numbness in the hands and feet can be especially difficult to deal with.
