Hey everyone my sister is 40 and has been for a chest x-ray as she has had breathing difficulties and has been told they have found a soft tissue mass on her lung does this mean lung cancer or has anyone been diagnosed with a soft tissue mass and been told it’s cancer?
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read about your sister's breathing difficulties. I know what a worrying time waiting for results can be and it's natural to assume the worst.
The online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the lung cancer group. This isn't because I think your sister has lung cancer but because it's a great place to ask your question.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
