Lung Cancer

Hello Bubbaboo,

A warm welcome to the lung cancer forum, although I'm very sorry you have the need to join.

You've certainly been through the mill already, but hopefully the latest nodule will prove to be benign. If not there will still be other treatments available depending on the precise results of the scan and biopsy.

I know from experience what a worrying time this is for you and wish you all the best for a favourable outcome. In the meantime if you need additional support Macmillan can offer this and I've attached a link for you to see what they can do for you should you wish to follow this up.

I wish you all the best, Derek.

Thank you Derek

A warm hug to you, I’m a newbie also having joined earlier this year. It’s so comforting knowing you’re not alone and can openly share, ask questions and even rant. 
The waiting for tests and results is nerve racking, wishing you good luck.

Thanks HayleyS69 hope you’re doing ok I think it helps to have support - I’ve not yet told everyone so maintaining my positive outlook an that kind of helps so I hope you’re being positive big hugs  

I’m ok thankyou I had a lower left lobectomy 7th January, it’s been a struggle at times but having to change my mindset and abilities played havoc in my head. But I have been lucky so far. Just had first ct and all ok so just got to keep plodding on.

please let us know how you get on

Good yes keep plodding on and yes I’ll let you know how it’s going Got lung function test in Fri at noon - in this heat - I’m already missing lungs but I’m going to do my best show I’m tough and stng  

Tbh I was quite concerned initially in my first lobectomy but soon back to do everything as normal even after the second one still just crack on. You’ve got this - we’ve got this 

Mine all started in October 24 felt tired sleeping 16 hours, doc said chest infection and I said as a smoker I have a hacking cough. Dec24 ambulance as high temp again chest infection.

anyway fast forward march still off and lymph nodes on neck still up, looked in mouth and saliva gland had gone black, saw LOCUM same day who sent me for ct for lung cancer BUT had aortic root aneurysm about to burst. JULY 2025 open heart.

we all new I had spot on lung but it grew very quickly and November had a PET 2 weeks later being told that I needed op which happened 3weeks later.

so basically 1 year of shit, but I’m stubborn, independent and a bitch obviously

Omg you’ve definitely been going through worst time ever - yes it helps being a stubborn bitch woohoo lov your humour x
