i was diagnosed in 2017 with stage 4 lung cancer and received immunotherapy which has kept me stable until today.
My consultant has suggested there is a change and there is cavitation and they will decide next week what to do.
he explained it is like an abscess but it is unclear if there is cancer within
they options are antibiotics - nothing - biopsy
Has anyone had cavitation?
I feel very upset - like when I was first diagnosed
