My husband had his last week after an xray and ct scan showed a shadow on his lung...struggling with the wait for the results...which may or may not be cancer according to his consultant...coping mechanisms at this early stage would be appreciated!
I'm sorry to hear that your husband is in the diagnosis stage as the waiting for results is a constant worry for all. These results are very important as they thoroughly test the samples they have taken and that will determine diagnosis and treatment.
We all try to focus on one day at a time and try to have as normal a life as we can. Keeping busy helps and being positive about the fantastic treatments out there and you will soon be around to results day.
I know we all think the worst and I can't stop you worrying but whatever the result the journey has started and treatment is the next step.
Hi lemonlockx...he is constantly tired...cough....numerous chest infections and a lack of appetite which i did put down to doing less exercise in the past year ..walking has become a real effort...he has bronchietatas and an array of inhalers etc ....this ihas appeared on a routine xray and he was told it could be cancer...
An update...we had a call from the specialist nurse today.. results are in..apt for friday am...didnt give much away so trying to stay positive ..hope all you new friends are doi g ok...
Well i think its good news..the bronchoscopy biopsy was negative...but the doctors have decided to send him for a PET scan incase....has anyone else has this happen...we want to celebrate this negative result.but now another investigation looms!
Whatever samples they took are negative for càncer and that is good news. A PET scan is expensive and will light up any problems so they are being thorough. Not out of the woods yet but on the road.
