I spoke to my McMillan nurse yesterday on the phone about having a Shingles vaccine and she says to ask my GP as I’ve had shingles 3 times apparently it’s because my immune system is low. I asked for my scan results and I was shocked when she said “you’re scan results show in your upper left lung that it’s stable “ there’s no change it hasn’t grown or gone so it’s a good scan result. I was shocked because I thought after the treatment the cancer would go I would be cured the growth would not be there anymore, I don’t understand any of this. I want a straight answer Have I still got lung cancer and it’s stable because of treatment? Or you’re growth in your left upper lung is still there it hasn’t grown it’s stable and there’s no sign of cancer so you haven’t got lung cancer anymore but the growth is still there. I’m not feeling in control and I have depression and anxiety I’ve had it for years long before any cancer decided to appear and I have copd and emphysema and I’ve had that before cancer I think I’m not in a good place at the moment because I don’t know if I still have lung cancer or not? Do I still have lung cancer but it’s stable or I don’t have lung cancer and everything is stable? I’m not an intelligent person I struggle with reading and writing I have all my life in fact I faked it through my life and still do but my daughter Louise is a fantastic help to me and she’s very intelligent, my son Arron died at the age of 33 because of alcohol and drugs I tried so hard to help him and I learned more about addiction after my poor son died, my hubby Steve is amazing he’s a good husband and he’s my best friend as well . All I need to know do I still have lung cancer and it’s stable or I don’t have lung cancer anymore and it’s stable? Sorry for going on I know everyone on this forum is so poorly, hope everyone stays safe love Yvonne xx
