Hi everyone im new to this and just wanted to introduce myself. so everything happened so quickly it feels like a dream somtimes!!!
I felt unwell for a few months and just put it down to stress (like you do). Eventually went to my GP on the 31.12.21 as i was experiencing swelling on my neck and chest and i had a few burst blood vessels on my chest, she sent me straight to the hospital just be sure. l had an x-ray that wednesday afternoon which revieled i had a clouding on my chest. As i was not in any pain they sent me home to wait for an outpatient ct scan. By the sunday of that week i was really swollen and could not breath so i went back to hospital alone. Because of the swelling they did my ct scan that afternoon. I thought maybe i had covid or a chest infection. By six o,clock that evening they broke the devastating news that i had a mass on my right lung and they we 95% sure it was cancer!!!! What a true saying how your life can change in a second. They kept me in hospital for a week and i had a biopsy, 2 more ct scans a PET scan and one round of chemo by the following sunday. I have since had another round of chemo and i feel okay. Next week i find out if iam having radiotheraphy now or waiting till my chemo has finished. I am a fifty year old woman in two weeks time and my cancer is at stage three.
