It was just from working and visiting friends I guess, but that doesn't make it any easier to live with.
After various x-rays, ct-scans and then a biopsy, she was finally taken into Harefield in February to have a tumour removed from her right lung and although the operation went well they could not get everything out, the cancer had started to spread to the lining of her lung. They allowed her a short time to recover from her operation and started chemotherapy in May.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=217217&AppID=14585&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
