High there, I was diagnosed with lung cancer last year had a tumour on my right lower lobe after chemo and surgery in February everything was going well, regular scans showed a small nodule on the left side started as 3mm now 7 mm and has shown up as cancerous my oncologist things surgery is the way forward. I’m now just about to go through Pet scans mri and lung function tests and am absolutely petrified. I can’t sleep put on a brave face for everyone but inside I’m breaking anyone else feel this way.
Hello MalMal,
A very warm welcome to the online community, although I'm very sorry you have the need to join.
I know how you feel about having surgery, when I was diagnosed I had surgery to remove my right lung and the thought was thoroughly frightening at the time. However, with lung cancer, surgery most deitinitely offers the best chance of a cure - in my case over 12 years after surgery and chemo.
I'd like to suggest you join our lung cancer forum and repost on there, where you'll find others who can recount their experiences of the same treatment. I've placed a link below for you.
All the best, Derek.
