So today my husband had an appointment to discuss pet scan results, after a suspicous x ray & ct scan with dye.
No pet scan results as not back. Doctor just said looks like lung cancer possibly in lymph nodes. MDT meeting next Tuesday to discuss results & biopsy to follow. Not sure which one, as neither of us can take it all in.
I always thought cancer was only diagnosed after all scan results & biopsies done?
All doc did was showed the ct scan of the lung mass. Sent my husband for a blood test, clotting I think as hes on thinners. Shes them telling me 5 days before biopsies/surgery thinners stopped
Requested a brain scan as well.

Is all this normal procedure? I cant remember half of what was said.

Can cancer be diagnosed before all results in?

Devastated doesnt cover it....

Hi Tillyboo

I'm sorry to read all that you and your husband are going through and I know what a scary time this is.

Can I suggest that you post this in the lung cancer group (link) as you'll then connect directly with others who have been at this stage and can answer your questions.

Clicking on the link above will take you to the group.
