Hi Tracy

I have a pacemaker but take no meds

They say that there was abnormalities on a scan 4 years ago but they did not pick it up

Do not know what stage at the moment and still have to have some tests done

Hi Shazzer welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. The waiting for results is the worst bit, you feel in limbo and your mind goes into overdrive. Hopefully you won’t have much longer to wait and you can start your treatment x 

Hi

similar circumstances, I had a heart scan last year, found a nodule on my lung, after my heart issue was sorted out, had more scans, they realised, after looking at an old scan, it was there in 2017, and had grown slightly. It’s 1cm.

been told it’s probably a typical carcinoid, and I need a lobectomy, should have had it by now but keeps being postponed.

initially I was devastated, the past few years have been one challenge after another and this felt like too much.

good advice to not over think it, take it one day at a time, ask for help, make informed decisions.

my main concerns are getting infection in hospital and post op pain as I have fibromyalgia, but I will get through this and so will you,

over the years I’ve suffered terrible depression and many days I’ve wanted my life to end, only my children kept me going. Now I am the opposite, I am going to live every day to the full, because I’m lucky my heart got fixed and now this cancer is getting removed.

sending you my best wishes.

Thank you and hop all goes well
