Hi everyone.

I was diagnosed with squamous cell lung cancer last week .i am devastated as i went for a routine lung scan in July 23 and was found to have a nodule .they said they would keep an eye on it .i had a pet scan in August 23 which was told it hadn't picked anything nasty up.

Since then i have had more scans and it did grow a few months ago so had a lung resection on 21 October they removed the lesion but because of where it was they had to leave some attached to my oesophagus .

I have now been diagnosed with lung cancer and have been told i will need chemotherapy and radiotherapy .

They are saying the set scan may not have picked it up .as this was 15 months ago i am really frightened and so upset that it's too late to cure it .

    I see you’ve not had a response yet but wanted to reach out and say it’s ok to be in shock and scared.
    But there is a lot of good information on here. 

    Just search for what you want to know and just ask away, 
    there are many good folk who are really helpful and nothing goes unanswered that I’ve seen so far. 

    All the very best and hugs
