Whirlwind & the unknown!

Hi, I understand your anxiety. I had a similar experience last year. Nodule on my r upper lobe grew from 3mm to 9mm in 6 months. Uptake of dye on pet scan (organised in a week). To deep for needle biopsy so had it done under GA, signed consent to proceed with lobectomy if pathology results positive while I was under GA. 
had upper R lobectomy, nodule was cancerous but luckily no lymph node involvement so didn’t need chemo or radiotherapy . I will be screened for the next 4 years. Please can I say, I only had one bad night after surgery, otherwise got told off for doing too much !! Surgeon & ward staff named me their star patient !!! Good luck xx

Thank you. I think mine is because I have had 2 apology letters for things they missed or got wrong. It’s been such a rollercoaster scared to trust anything they say anymore 

Hi,  in February this year I  had a pet scan that revealed a 5cm tumor in right lung and a 2.5cm tumor in my left lung, lit up like a beacon, after an agonising  wait of 8 weeks I  went into hospital  for nav bronoscopy,  the day before they did ct scan, I  had the proceedure and no problems, the  consultant then told me that the 2.5 cm tumor in my left lung had gone, WHAT ! do you mean its gone, its gone, it wasnt cancer and its gone,  just keep cluthing, I am unfortunately not one of the lucky ones because the one in my right lung is nsclc, I  will pray for you as thats all I  can really offer, dig deep and and stay strong

Should have added that the smaller tumor that disappeared was as I was told a bacterial  or fungal infection 

Thank you Palamon. 

I think I've been really lucky up until now with it all being so quick. 

I wrote this thread a couple of days after being told by the GP "it's cancer" - I'm already everyone here can appreciate the shock of that.

I've since been told that the xray & ct scan appear to be pretty conclusive which is why I have had the EBUS, I still don't have the results from that which was just over a week ago but I've been told now that, Tomorrow the MDT team are meeting and I'm the first appointment in the same day to find out the next step of the journey may be 

Good luck with the treatment plan.  If they suspect lymph node involvement, things are likely to move quite quickly.

Hi Mich,  hopeing things turn out well for you regards the ebus procedure, when I had mine I was told by the consusultant there was no cancer in the lymph nodes, I high fived him the look on his face was priceless,  he obviously  wasn't  expecting  that so it was an awkward high five but never the less it made him smile, good luck.
