My mum is 62 and fit and well. She had a seizure out the blue 12 days ago, at 1st they thought was a stroke and was signs of an old stroke, after tests they found a lump on her lung. She was let home last week with medication (dexamathasone and anti seizure) all the doctor said to her when she left was lung cancer. She knows she has 2 brain lesions though. She called Friday after hearing nothing since being out and they said another hospital was looking at head scans Friday (just gone) and the lung scans would be this week. She's not even had a biopsy. We are all so confused and worried. She's still fine, pottering around at home just waiting in limbo. Please if anyone has any advice or ever been on the same situation would be appreciated.
Hi Jhoops I am sorry to hear about your mum. It is terrifying when you are told a loved one has cancer. It is usual to have ct scans before a biopsy, you will probably find that once the tests start there will be lots of different appointments.
There are a few people here in the lung group who are supporting loved ones, but there are also a couple of support groups on the community you can join, where there are others in a similar situation to yourself.
You can also call the Macmillan support line, 7 days a week from 8am until 8pm on 0808 808 00 00
Let us know how your mum gets on.
Take care
