Have had pet scan told by surgeon he's sure it's cancer. Have had a plotting ct scan for biopsy. Cancer is at bottom of right lung can't go in with a needle through side as so have to go down the throat and there not sure if they will be able to get a sample. Have been told bottom third of right lung will have to be removed. Told if they cannot carry out biopsy they will take biopsy while I'm on the operating table then decide whether to proceed with the operation. I have been told the procedure will take place within the next 14 days and am waiting for a call to tell me to stop taking aspirin which I am taking for an aortic aneurysm and am due surgery after I recover from the lung operation. It takes 10 days for the aspirin to get out of the system. I am afraid that this cancer will spread in the mean time. I haven't slept since I was told 6weeks ago and am very afraid as I am 69 and have never had any type of operation in my life
The waiting is slowly draing me of my energy and I can't relax waiting for the dreaded phone call. I started off positive it's the dam waiting! Any advice?
