Lung cancer ?

Just been told today, they are giving me a Pet scan as they think it might be lung cancer. Nodules picked up on a x ray then went on to have ct scan.. I don't know how I feel really,  I don't want to talk to my husband.  Just want to sleep but finding it hard to switch off.  

  • Hello Hollywell5 and thank you for posting,

    I am sorry to learn of your situation. Waiting for tests and test results can be stressful and anxious.

    It can be a time when people feel they have no control over what is happening to them, and there is a lot of uncertainty. There is no right or wrong way to deal with these feelings. Some people find it helpful to carry on with their daily lives, such as working for others it doesn't help just as some people find it helpful to lean on friends and family for others it can be too difficult.

    I hope you do not have to wait too long for your scan and scan results. Please feel free to come back to us, if you would like to speak with one of our nurses on the helpline we are available between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday and the freephone number to call is 0808 800 4040,

    Take care

    Jemma
