After a routine chest x ray something suspicious was spotted, so straight away had a CT scan as there was a space.
Findings 5cms lung lesion ( or mass as they call it, as bigger than 3cms) & 1 inflamed lymph node.
Sent for PET/Ct scan being done this Friday 7th Feb & head MRI no date yet & a lung function test, which he had today. He said he "failed" it, they tried all different ways of doing it, but screen readings werent good. No idea what happens now. If the clip wasnt on his nose he could have done it no problems.
Hes now totally deflated & said " he thinks he'll be dead by the end of the month".
He has no symptoms, apart from right hand & both legs swelling, which hes suffered with since a stroke 7 yrs ago, but the last month as got pretty bad, but hes not going out much due to weather.
I'm beside myself myself with worry & literally dread each day starting worrying about whats to come.
It seems this failed test today as sealed his fate....
Within less than 2 wks lifes gone from normal to a living hell.
As anyone else gone through & come out with anything but cancer?
I've Googled everyday since this all started, I know I shouldnt but I cant stop looking for hope.
I just dont get how someone can breathe ok no cough but put a clip on their nose & they cant do it, still no cough then.
Hi Tillyboo
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and , although I don't have the same diagnosis as your husband, I know how scared you're probably feeling right now.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the lung cancer group, as this will give you the opportunity to talk to others about the sort of test your husband has had.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
I'll be keeping everything crossed for you that there is a non cancerous outcome for your husband but please stop googling. If Dr Google was a real person he'd be struck off by now!

There's absolutely no reason to apologise. I know what it's like when you're going through tests and are worrying that it might be leading to cancer.
