Hi I'm 51 , I lost my voice in April after months of antibiotics I started getting a pain in my chest when I took a deep breath I just happened to mention this to the dock so she sent me for chest x
, ray then CT scan then the other thing that's a bit better then a CT scan can't remember what that's called ,iv just had a endoscopic i no they think iv got lung cancer because iv seen it on my app the doctor introduced me to the Macmillan nurse but the doc doesn't seem to care wot questions I'm asking he hasn't told me anything, so I'm left with Google which, to be honest isn't giving me anything good to hold on to , i no lung cancer is a bad one but this has been going on for almost 5 Months an if most people dye in the first year an i half way through the rest of my life already, ?? Should I still be cleaning the very big very tiring houses that I clean ,?? An what about my puppy she's not even 2do I have to get her a new home ,,also when do I tell my mum an daughter, iv got so many questions I fill like I might explode...
Hi there,
Firstly please give Doctor Google a miss as it can be out of date and very unhelpful. From what you say the medics seem pretty sure you have cancer but they will need to find out more before they can decide what treatments are best for you. I waiting for results can be the most difficult time. I told my family about my suspected lung cancer but there was not much point in further discussion as I had no other information. The MacMillan nurses can be very helpful so maybe you could call them so you can find out more about what comes next. Don’t worry about the monkeys! You could contact the nurses at your hospital or alternatively talk to someone here or on the Roy Castle site.
Just hang on to your dog as well. Treatments are getting better all the time.
Sending you love 
Daisy
