I’m 55 retired in August started with a tight chest September then a cough in October. Had a X-ray November 8th, CT scan just after, Pet scan, a pulmonary function test and finally a Ebus test. Current radiological stage T1c, N2 MO. Waiting on my phone call Tuesday 7th Dec with a a plan on what’s best treatment for me. Honestly these last 4 weeks have been the worst of my life not stopped crying, no sleep either and my appetite is zero due to my nerves. Got a lovely caring understanding hubby that’s been so calming for me
