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

  • Evening ladies and gentlemen. 

    Diagnosis was COPD and emphysema,  with black spots of Bullea on the ct slides. More bloods done, spirometry test and other tests in place. But she said it wasn't cancer. 

    He is only 41, referred to smoking sensation and she said they issue vapes to help stop smoking..I was mortified !!! 

    I thought these were bad for you, a family member died from popcorn lung from these ! 

    So I'm in a state of confusion.  I obviously read up Bullea on Google and got confused again, if anyone could elaborate the meaning, is bullea cancerous?  The episode he had in June was apparently one of the bullea spots making him poorly? Sorry there was so much information to absorb. 

    Thankyou for all your well wishes (I've just finished work , sorry for the late reply) xxx

  • Well, I'm delighted that it's not lung cancer and at last you've got a proper diagnosis after persevering.

    Best thing your husband can do now is to stop smoking.

    Wishing you well x
