My mum got diagnosed with lung cancer today

Hi  Vic212 

welcome to the group but sorry to hear about your mum. It is scary to be told a loved one has cancer, but lung cancer treatment has come such a long way in recent years, and there are lots of treatment options. Lung cancer certainly isn’t the death sentence it once was. 

Of course you will be scared about the result of the scan, but you will cope, you will find the strength from somewhere because we just do. Once mum gets her treatment plan things will seem easier. It’s all the unknown at the moment that is so terrifying. 

Good luck to mum for Friday, I hope you both get some better news. 

Thank you so much. I just don't know enough and I'm terrified we'll just somehow be sent away with no treatment options and I'll lose her

I know it’s hard, but try not to think of worst case scenarios. Worrying about things that may not even happen won’t do you any good.
