It's been a bit of a whirlwind and I suppose most people in the beginning feel like they've been hit with a sledge hammer
I originally went to the GPS as I thought like my mum I had angina as ive noticed I had a small burning feeling in my chest when going up hill,stairs etc. Referred to the cardio dept who then did a CT scan and noticed a lesion on the RLL. Fast forward 3 weeks later referral to respiratory and have had a echocardiogram, spirometry, further CT and CT/pet scan. The consultant then suggested a biopsy which I went for yesterday the radiologist said he was unable to do it as A the lump is too small B it's in a poor position to get a sample. The radiologist sat and had a discussion with me and seems to think it is a very small early cancer, no spread anywhere in the body and nothing showing on the pet scan,but I know it can show a false negative. He then said the MDT team will meet on Thursday and there will possibly be 3 options another attempted biopsy(which can't say I want to go through again as might be unsuccessful), a wait and see approach or treat the growth as cancer and have surgery to remove the growth but, then he said if the lump is benign then I've had surgery for nothing.
I also gave ME/CFS so it an extra struggle.
The only reason I'm thinking myself it could be cancer as the position of the growth is perhaps sometimes pressing on my lung when I breath in and out and, I think is the cause of the burning feeling in the centre of my chest .
Any help, views, information would be so helpful. Thank you
