Summary
This study will test whether mindfulness-based breathing exercises can help lung cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy feel less breathless and improve their quality of life. Sixty patients will be split into two groups: one will practice these breathing exercises for eight weeks, while the other receives standard care. Researchers will measure symptoms like pain, fatigue, and anxiety, as well as breathlessness and overall well-being.
