Hi RolyAnnBunting and a warm welcome to the board. Have they said that the lung issue is/are metastatic spread from the bowel? If so it’s classed as bowel cancer with spread to the lungs rather than lung cancer - I’m only checking as the treatment and prognosis may be different?
I’ve attached a link to a page on the bowel cancer uk board and I’m going to see if my good friend court can share some words of wisdom with you?
Take care
