Hi, I have had a nodule on my lung for about a year now, which I was told to keep an eye on. I was hue a ct in June but was not called in for an appointment so I had a private one done as I had lung infection. It came back suspicious so back to nhs another ct with contrast and pet scan they think cancer. Waiting for appointment for biopsy, I have a pain in my side which no consultant has really said anything about, she did examine me before pet scan and said ok she could find nothing, I have been looking at Dr Google and frightened myself silly, I can’t eat or sleep and have been prescribed diazepam can anyone tell me about pain in upper back please Tia
Hi Jazzy1 welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. I know how scary all this is for you, but Sanguinesse is right, please keep away from google. The internet is so outdated when it comes to lung cancer and treatment, and new treatments are becoming available all the time.
I hope the biopsy went well for you, There will be an agonising wait now for those results, unfortunately this can take up to 14 days as they test the samples to see if cells grow etc.
I think the puppy is a very good idea. I got my puppy a year or so after my diagnoses, she is 9 this year. Not only is she my emotional support, no one loves you like a dog does, and it gives you that purpose to get up and get going even when you don't feel like it. And believe me there will be days when you don't feel like it, but just a 10 minute walk around the block with the dog can do wonders.
