A lung cancer patient from Bandon says waiting for scan results is absolutely terrifying.
Gillian Ryan who never smoked was diagnosed 3 years ago at 40 years of age and awaits results that will determine her course of treatment.
There are calls for more funding for the disease this lung cancer awareness month.
Speaking to RedFM News, Gillian says she spends every single waking moment thinking about her illness:
"It's nerve-wracking, it's anxiety inducing and unless you are in that situation you will never understand it. I hope nobody has to understand it, its enveloping you in this grip of fear all the time. Every single waking moment, you're always thinking what's next? How long do I have? Do I need to start writing those letters."
