Lung cancer ?

My husband has been poorly for a while..he's been having extremely bad coughing fits. Clear mucus (extreme amount) 

It was so bad we rang 999 at 1130pm at night, we even had to get the dfib from the shop

2   came, lots of assessments done, husband refused to go into hospital bit agreed to see the gp

Struggling to breath,  bad cough , horse voice, extreme weight loss, profound sweating at night for many months, chest pain, pain in his back and shoulder. 

He was given antique and steroids and an inhaler 

6 days layer give the same meds again.

He had bloods and an xray. No answers. He still isn't right and tonight he mentions lung cancer.

We don't know how to ask to be seen for this / tested ?

Or would the xray and bloods have picked it up please ?

Thankyou for reading. 

Kind regards 

Xx

  • Afternoon ladies and gents. Quick update, 

    The 2ww started today. Ct tomorrow,  results next Wednesday, it should have happened a few weeks ago, but it went to pot as the hospital requested more info off his gp, then the 2ww had to start again. We was in puerto rico until yesterday morning,  so it's all started today. 

    Bloods done today

    I think he's masking hiw he's feeling

    I'm a wreck!!! Is this normal? Xx

  • Hi there and thanks for updating us about your husband.

    I am sorry to hear it has taken this long to get where you are now and as others has said it is natural to be very worried.

    It is good to hear the results from the scan should be back by next week so hopefully you will have some answers very soon.

    Everyone undergoing tests ( and their loved ones)  will handle or show their emotions (or not) in different ways and that is okay.

    Take care of yourself and you know we are all here for you.

    Hope today goes well.

    Best wishes to you both
