Hi, I have just come across this website whilst searching frantically on google for what to expect next (which I know is not a good plan) so decided instead to give this a go. I have read some other posts which offer me some reassurances.
I have been having various scans/tests since Nov 2024 with result that there is a very small nodule of 8 to 10mm on my left lung. I had a radioactive New Years Eve following a full body PET-CT scan the same day. I am still waiting on results and am feeling quite worried.
Over the past 6 weeks I have experienced every emotion possible including those I have never experienced before and I am dreading the results day! I just wondered whether anybody else is at this early stage or come through this stage and all was fine, or if not fine what happens next?
Hi Lizzie262 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and I know how scary waiting for the results can be.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the lung cancer group, as you'll then connect with others who have been where you are now, or who are waiting for results, to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
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'.
If you have any problems navigating the community I'll be pleased to help.

Hi Teace and can I also welcome you to the online community.
As I said in my reply to Lizzie262, the online community is divided into different support groups so I'd also recommend that you join the lung cancer group so that you can connect with others who have the same type of cancer to ask questions, share experiences and get support.

It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and any treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

Hi Coxie and welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
As I've mentioned to others in this thread, the online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the oesophageal cancer group where you'll connect directly with others who have this type of cancer.

Good afternoon Lizzie262
i really glad you found this site, I only found this online platform a few days ago and I feel I have the support and guidance from specialist nurses and other people who are either going through or, been through it or has experience of family friends going through all types of cancer. There is such a wealth of information & support here.
i was only recently diagnosed on 31/12/24 with Lung Cancer which was a huge shock as feel the GP did nothing to refer me over for MRI scan and nie I’m hit with Stage 4 Lung cancer, So def not a happy bunny.
im so pleased you found this Website it is very supportive and most helpful. Welcome
