Hello and thanks for posting

I'm sorry you and your husband are going through an anxious and uncertain time. It's understandable that you want to prepare yourself for getting his test results given what you went through with your first husband.

Although a chest CT scan is often done to check for cancer, it doesn't mean that cancer will definitely be found. It can be done as a precautionary measure to gather as much information as possible to get an accurate diagnosis.

It's really tough waiting for test results and it's natural to feel worried. But I’m afraid until the results are known no one can tell you anymore just now.

I can appreciate that you want to get as much information as you can before you go to the hospital, but unfortunately it is not possible to anticipate what they are going to tell your husband.

Waiting in circumstances like this is never easy but I’m afraid there is no real way round this. Some people find talking it through with family and friends and keeping busy can sometimes help. But until you know more it’s natural to worry.

I hope you both know more soon . Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
