My 45 year old son was diagnosed this week.
He attended A+E 2 weeks ago with chest pain, an xray showed a blood clot in the lung so ct scan was booked next day. We werr devasted to be told he had secondary cancer in his liver with no signs of the primary. A full body scan revealed nothing else. A swelling in his neck at jaw line was booked for scan and biopsy. The doctors initial thoughts were Lymphoma.
Biopsy results yesterday floored us when after initially being told his lungs were clear he was told he had Adenocarcinoma of the lung.
I was diagnosed 1st Dec with breast cancer had lumpectomy and radiotherapy and am fine. However week before my treatment finish my husband went to doctors with pain in his side and feeling full quickly. Long story short, he was diagnosed 28th Feb with colon cancer which had spread to lungs and liver. He died on 21st April his 77th birthday 8 weeks after diagnosis. We had already lost our middle son suddenly at 25 with a brain aneurism.
My son is devastated, he is married with 14 and 11 year old sons. I dont know how I am going to get through this and give him the help he and his family needs.
