Hi, don't really know where to begin, but last year they found a 5cm mass in mums kidney which was malignant, found by accident btw and has had a few scans and it's not grown, they think it may have been there a while.
But about a few months ago she had a heart scan for something unrelated and they found nodules on one of her lungs but where not overly concerned, she had another scan on her lungs a couple of weeks ago saw the consultant who told her she had more on her other lung and would refer her to the relevant clinic to discuss a treatment plan, didn't even indicate it was cancer. Well she went for that appointment recently, to be told it was terminal despite no biopsies and because of her situation (disabled etc) they won't operate or give her any treatment as it would further ruin her quality of life such as it is now, this came as a total shock as she was only expecting to be given a treatment plan. I cannot get my head round this at all and really struggling to come to terms with it, she is 75 and been though so much in the past 20 years.
The hospital never gave a timescale just said it could be months, a year, 2 years or more or less.
sorry for the rambling
