Protocols for Lung Cancer

Hi Teri

Im not in the Carlisle area but know it well.

There is something called Cancer Standards that they have to achieve so you could try to download a copy from the internet, the other one is NICE guidelines for lung cancer.

If i get more info i will send you it tomorrow.

Hi Teri,

What can I say Pal, I hope that they have got it wrong.I think you have had enough for alife time never mind a year.Hope you are keeping well,and that your sis will be O/K. Good luck.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx

Oh Teri, the words that spring to mind I can not type here mate!

Hope the initial diagnosis is wrong and that your sister gets her MRI asap.  My MRI has had to be farmed out to another hospital this month because my own hospital can't cope with the demand and they have four machines!

Hi Teri I too hope they are wrong.

Yes an MRI is a diagnostic test, maybe they want to find out if it has spread. The MRI usually covers all the body.

How did they find out? Did they do a chest xray?

I know they are always busy for scans and even an emergency scan can take upto 2 weeks.

I hope all go's well.

Lots of Love Julie X

Julie I don't even know for sure yet, she told my mum that they said she has cancer but she has been in hospital twice  with ? pneumonia since Bert died and  nothing was mentioned then which I find a bit hard to believe, I hope  it is not but if that is the case and she has told my mum she has it there will be trouble. /reminds me of the spammers we sometimes get on the site something just does not ring true. But saying that she said she is going for an MRI. I will just have to wait and see, strangely she has not said anything to her husband or her daughter, /just to my elderly frail mother and told her not to tell anyone
