New to this site and could do with some help please.

I know it's hard but you need to ask the right questions. I would question whether an xray is good enough - I would have thought he would need a full MRI. You need to get hold of someone who is treating him - oncologist - and tell him that you are not happy with what is going on. I have found that in some areas the medics make an unholy mess of things and in others they do a great job. Postcode lottery comes to mind. Get on to the onco and don't take no for an answer. If he gives you the runaround get hold of a Macmillan nurse and get them to intervene and if that doesn't work make a full complaint to the hospital board. The number of times people get left to their own devices is disgusting,

Good luck, and let us know how you get on.

Thanks Drew,  I probably haven't made myself very clear.  He had CT scans and PET scans last Novemeber when he was first diagnosed.  But today when our GP came out to see him he (the GP) thought that he (My husband) may have Plurisy so that's the reason for the x-ray.  Sorry if I misled you.

Hi Lizzy,

I just wanted to welcome you to the site - sorry you had to join.  Just wanted to say, considering  you weren't sure what to do, you did it all right!!!!!

Hope you find some people with direct knowledge of the cancers you darling husband has and can give you the support and information you need.

Love & Strength

Hi LIzzy,

            I don't know much about your husbands particular cancer but I do know  that once you have had this disease, any continuous pain sets the alarm bells ringing, so you are doing exactly the right thing by getting it checked out.

             Fingers and everything crossed that it is nothing serious and let us know how things turn out. Remember you can come on here to ask questions, share worries or just chat. There will always be someone to give support.

               Take care,

                     Love lizzie xx
