My wife had 2 lobes of her right lung removed November 2020 it was noted that she had a 12mm amorphous shadow on her left lung
loss of use of her left arm apraxia and breathing difficulties started in Feb 2022 which after CT scan checking for a stroke ended with CBS or PSP being considered
A CT scan has now shown up a 20.4mm tumour and surgery seemed to be planned
a whole body PET scan was done and breathing test with a heart test organised then we were quickly called in for an oncologist meeting
We were told her health is not good enough for surgery so she is now booked in For a focused radiotherapy discussion
her breathing is quite shallow as she has gold stage 3 COPD
Is the current tumour likely to be secondary primary cancer or a new primary
The few calls or meetings we have are usually intense and short so prognosis is difficult
the last oncologist said we could just watch the tumour with a CT scan every 6 months but this can cause lots of anxiety whilst radio therapy can cause scarring
Any thoughts/questions we should ask?
regards
