Hello Dolydr

Welcome to the group, you are posting in the correct group. I am sorry to hear as well as dealing with your wife's condition you now have to worry about your own health situation, well I can tell you you have joined a wonderful group of people who will give you all the help and support you need. If you want to read my story so far just tap my avatar and my profile story will appear.

I agree things seem very slow happening in the beginning but there is a lot of information to be collected and discussions to be had about treatment, so just hang in there you will get to where you need to be for answers, in the meantime please don't be tempted to Google anything, the information is often out of date and not accurate, you will get a treatment plan as soon as your medical team have collected all the information they need.

Ask as many questions as you need to in this forum, there is usually someone who can give you a constructive answer and you can always try giving the helpline a call, they are wonderful and very helpful the number is 0808 800 0000.

In the meantime take care and if you want a chat you can message always happy to support if I can

Have a good day

Donna

Thank you for your kind reply.

its not me I worry about - it’s my wife and who might look after her.

I understand you worry about your wife, perhaps you could have a chat with your GP about your situation, you might find there is some help and support available to you now or things that can be put in place before your treatment commences so you have less to worry about for your wife. 

It might be helpful to have a chat with your GP just for some general support to get you through this early stage and if not the GP then please have a chat with Macmillan, I am sure they can help you with some aspects so you have less to worry about.

Thank you for your kindness 

Hi, 

I'm in a similar position. I have a spiculated growth 2x3cm in the right upper lobe which is glowing on PET scan. Next step CT steered biopsy. Again no symptoms it was found by chance on routine Xray. My husband has been an inpatient for 6 months suffering from severe depression.  He is jn respite care at an Abbeyfield for a month then I don't know what!!

Thank you. Take care

I'm still at the stage of disbelief. This can't be happening,  its all a mistake and I'm wasting everyone's time. Also angry

Like you : Cross, Total Disbelief, Frustrated, Annoyed etc etc. Had to cancel a cruise starting next week because waiting for the initial two weekassessment. Happy to chat privately if you like. 

Next week sometime
