Mum has lung cancer 2 new lumps.

Hi guys.  Last Feb my mum was diagnosed with lung cancer.  She has a 5cm tumour on her lung which is encasing her artery so surgery wasnt an option.  She had radiotherapy which managed to shrink the tumour.  Shes just had her results after a check up and although the tumour hasnt grown, they have found 2 new lumps approx 8mm big on the same lung just up a bit from the tumour.  Im paniking now that this is going to be the downward spiral to the end.  She will be 80 this yr so I know shes had a good life but shes my mum and I want to keep her for as long as possible x

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Mindy although I'm really sorry to read that the results of your mum's latest check-up showed 2 new lumps above the tumour on her lung.

    Many members here have been in similar positions and will really understand how you're feeling at the moment and I'm sure they will pop by soon to offer their support and advice.

    Keep chatting to us when you can Mindy and we'll have our fingers crossed that treatment is available to deal with these lumps and can help keep your mum here for as long as possible.

    Best wishes to you both,
