On December 2nd I has my regular diabetes review. Because I wasn't my usmy chest sounds werebual optimistic self, the nurse referred me to a GP as a matter of urgency. The doc referred  me for a chest xray, even though the chest sounds we're clear & heart sounds normal & chest sounds clear. This triggered a CT scan the following day and a consultant  appointment on Tuesday. He said there's a mess of rubbish near one of my lungs, so I'm having an EBUS biopsy tomorrow, brain scan on Monday & a PET scan on Xmas eve.

I'm terrified and finding it difficult to stay strong while we don't have any answers. 

Sorry for offloading, but I had nowhere else to do it!

  • Hello  

    That's great that you now have a treatment plan. I wish you all the best on Monday and hope you get through the course of treatment with the minimal side effects.

    Do keep us posted as to how it goes.

    Best wishes - Brian.
