My mums diagnosis

Hello everyone

I’m not entirely sure what to write! My mum was diagnosed with lung cancer on Monday. Very quick. Had a CT scan at 12pm and when I collected her at 4pm she told me she had lung cancer.

So it’s all very new and we’re trying to process it all. She is waiting on her appointment with the specialist so at the moment we don’t know anything other than she has lung cancer.

at the moment, she doesn’t want to tell her grandkids. So when we have some more info we can answer their questions. My mum is being incredibly strong and brave. I don’t feel strong or brave. I want to support her in the best way I can???

love to all

Hi Bec04

So very sorry that you have cause to be on here.

I know that you and your Mum will now want everything to happen quickly; however you both need to prepare for periods where nothing seems to be happening and periods where you feel that there seems to be too many tests and scans. We have all been through this but rest assured things will be happening behind the scenes and the testing is very much necessary to confirm the type of cancer and to put together the best treatment plan.

If it helps.I kept every thing very low key until I knew the full prognosis and the proposed treatment plan. This did help in telling the wider group of friends and family..

The best person to ask how best to offer support is your Mum herself.

I hope this helps a bit.

Hi Kegsy,

thank you so much for your message. I truly appreciate it and have read your message to my mum. She said you’re right.
