Hello everyone, I joined macmillan several years ago as my fiancé's carer who has now sadly passed away from his lung cancer. I now find myself not in a good place. My story so far, I recently ended up at urgent care after a pop in my chest which I was told was pulled muscles after an xray, a week later I received a letter for a CT scan where I was informed a circle had shown up in my xray. I had my CT scan which was then shown to a doctor who immediately asked for another CT scan with contrast. I have now been rung for an urgent appointment following the 2 week rule which I have to wait a week to attend, I'm so worried that I now myself may have lung cancer, I feel like I have a couple of symptoms, including, cough, hoarse voice, just looking for reassurance really thanks, Cathy.
Hi there
I’m in the same place so I can’t advice on my experience however I wanted to send you a hug
There are amazing treatments now
Cancer treatments have really improved
I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for you. Im from the Bowel group and find I now need lung investigations
Take care
Ann
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, glad to hear there are amazing treatments now, immunotherapy had only just really come about when my partner had lung cancer but I've read it's so good 
I hope every thing goes as good as it can for you, Cathy
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, I know you're right about worrying and I am trying not to but like you say its so hard. I've read your story and I have to say you sound like such a positive person, I think I need to take a leaf out of your book, Cathy
Sorry I think I'm replying to the wrong messages 
still trying to figure out how to use it, it's changed since last time I was here.
Don’t worry about it. I did it all of the time.
And I flagged when I was scrolling down different posts and I had to keep apologising to the moderators.
Take care
Ann
