Hi New here, hubby was diagnosed a couple weeks ago with secondary lung cancer along with two other places. However since then a lump has appeared on his arm and yesterday a sore raw spot on his side…is this common ? Thanks
Hi Cazza123
The appearance of a lump and sore must be worrying and I presume your husband has reported these to his hospital team.
I'm not a member of this forum, so don't know if this is common with secondary lung cancer, but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
While you're waiting for replies it would be great if you could put something about your husband's diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
