Hi I’m new Wave tone2 my Mum has just been diagnosed with Lung cancer Pensive my Mum has an appointment on the 2nd of October with MacMillan for further tests, I’m assuming to determine the stay and treatments? Can anyone please tell me roughly how long after this will get some answers? Many thanks x x

  • Hi there. I’m sorry you find yourself here. My mum was diagnosed with lung cancer in June. I’m guessing like my mum your mum will have to undergo further tests like a PET scan to determine if the cancer has spread. If she hasn’t already she’ll need a biopsy. Results to both took about a week for my mum. 
    Once all the tests are done they’ll be able to grade the cancer and give her a treatment plan. The waiting is hard and feels like forever. I hope this helps. x

  • Oh thank you Blush this really helps, I’m so sorry you’re in the same situation and I hope your Mum is doing well Fingers crossed x x.
