    Thanks so much for replying, hope this is ok but my mums story so far is 

    3 weeks ago she visited her gp with an irritating cough she thought due to a feather allergy, she was sent for ct scan 2 days later, then 2 days after this her gp rang and asked her to go in and see her, she advised that she had mass on her ovaries and  marks on her lungs. She has since had broncoscopy and EBUS, ultrasound and blood tests.  Following more appointments she has been referred to gynaecology cancer unit for 21cm complex mass. We have an appointment on Wednesday with lung consultant but she received a letter saying T4, N3 and M1c with metastatic invasion? This makes no sense to her but I’ve researched it and it doesn’t sound positive. I just feel numb but determined to support her and stay strong, can you offer any advice xx

  • Hello Stick together. Thanks for providing some more information. Any cancer diagnosis brings a great deal of stress and worry.  It might be an idea to join both the Lung Cancer Forum and also the Ovarian Cancer Forum. There'll you'll be able to talk to others on a similar journey. Just click to join the forums then start a new thread and copy and paste what you've written here, someone will be along soon to offer support.

    Sending you and your Mum supportive hugs, B x
