Hi everyone
I was formerly a member of the Oesophageal Cancer forum here in support of my dear late Mum and found it so helpful.
Little did I know that I’d be needing some support of my own here at a later date.
So I’m now new to this group and have recently been diagnosed with Lung Cancer. I also have a shadow on my spine and I’m waiting for more tests to determine if that is also cancer.
I don’t yet know which type of lung cancer it is. I only know I have a 4.5cm tumour on my right lung and two smaller ones on my left lung. I’ve had a chest X-ray followed by a CT scan which picked up the tumours and I’m now waiting for appointments to come through with the respiratory team to find out more details. My GP has fast tracked the request so I’m hoping it won’t be too long but I’m on pins at the moment waiting.
When I was first told I was devastated as is my husband, having had a few days to process, tell the kids and our family and friends I’m feeling stronger and so loved and supported. I’m in limbo now with the not knowing what’s next and I find that scary.
thank you in advance for any wise words and support you might give
Jools
