Hi I’m Susan 3 weeks ago I had what I thought was a lurgy cough felt lousy thought I’d picked something up on a cruise holiday at New Year. Went to see my gp who gave me antibiotics and said I should also have a chest X-ray as it was crackly. A week later didn’t feel a lot better so went back he said it’s clearing up one more dose of antibiotics should sort it out. 2 days later I got a call from the surgery the dr wanted to see me re my X-ray then another call booked me a ct scan . I saw my gp on the morning he said the X-ray shows a large mass in my left lung. I had the ct scan that evening the results came back with a 6.5cm tumour on my left lung. I have never smoked in my life and am in total shock. I have an apt at the chest clinic next week. I feel and look absolutely fine in myself. Would love to hear how people deal with this. My husband of 50 years is in pieces so are my children. I’m 68 years old.
