Hi Neilio57 

It's definitely worth seeking medical advice . Particularly on chemo . Infections and blood clots also have to be excluded .

It’s worthwhile phoning the nhs out of hours service . 
Better safe than sorry .

Take care and I hope you get better soon.

Thank you, hopefully I'm just panicking a bit and everythings okay. I'll phone up and have a rest 

Hi Neilio57 Have you been given a 24 hour chemo support number for your hospital? I was given one and told that it wasn’t just for emergencies but to ring if I was worried about anything at all? 

Hope you managed to speak to someone 

Take care

Hi Neilio57

I had 3 secondary lung metastases about 2 and a half years ago the issue I had was that the oncologist wanted to wait for them to get bigger so that the surgeon could find them in my lung which is similar to a sponge inside. I didnt have any symptoms and it was picked up in my regular scans. Surgery went well with the only issue being the lung reinflating which was roughly 2 days for me. Post operation the surgeon was basically giving himself an oscar for being so good at removing 2 metastases when I pointed out there were 3. My final one was removed with ablation and that went well. That was over 2 years ago and my lungs have been clear since.Good luck, put your trust in the professionals but check your information as well.

I like the bit about the 3 mets. This appeals to the dark humour I sometimes have to hide from people who haven’t been through the bollocks of cancer. 

Hi, thanks for your reply. Glad your treatment went well. My two or three lung mets were picked up a few months back, but I had to have operations on my liver and bowel first before they could tackle the lungs. Now on the latest scan it's showing 20+ small legions. It's not looking good. I'm angry that we couldn't have done the ablation when it was just 2 or 3. I'm rasing it as an issue so they can make better decisions next time for someone else but I have no idea what to do about it now. Not many success stories from so many multiple legions. Now I'm not able to do the ablation and have to try chemo again first. In the meantime I've been given 6 months to maybe a year to live. So I'm so happy you got sorted early. It's a terrible disease
