Hello I have just had my biopsy after finding out I had lung cancer from a PET scan this was requested because I had pneumonia in January and the follow up X-ray showed there was some residue on my right lung I have a 3.5cm upper right load mass and nodules in the lining. My respiratory doctor has told me “this can’t be cured but can be treated to give me more time “ . I am waiting for the biopsy results hopefully this week, when will I see an oncologist and has anyone else had similar. What sort of treatment should I expect I feel perfectly fine no symptoms at all have mild asthma but that’s not bothering me xx
Hello Blossom,
This sounds very similar to my dad he was told that his cancer was incurable but treatable to give him more time. In the space of 4 weeks he has had biospys, drain downs and is finally fit enough to start 3 rounds of chemo lasting 3 months and then they will reevaluate after then. I hope this helps. I think treatment options are different for different peopke considering age/health etc
