Just had the diagnosis of non small cell squamos lung cancer T4N3MX and so afraid ..I have an appointment on Monday with the oncologist ...I am scared there won't be any treatment options available to me ...has anyone any experience of this staging and treatment...I know every case is different and my team have been great so far
Hi Mark, with you being in the North West do you mind me asking where you've been receiving treatment? My granddad is still currently awaiting a diagnosis, but he is now under Wythenshawe for testing x
Hi Kate
My appointments and treatment was all carried out at Preston hospital.
Sisterchic11 thank you for your reply ..its all so scary and not knowing what to expect...I've been feeling really down recently and afraid
I really do understand what you are saying about feeling down & afraid yes it is very scary, I pray the oncologist puts your mind more at rest tomorrow. Be thinking of you, let us know how you get on. Take care
Thanks so much for replying :) hope you are doing well x
Thought I would post back .. went to see the consultant last week and I am.booked to start chemo 5th march
