My mum has recently been diagnosed with Lung cancer. She was being treated for neuralgia as she was experiencing pains & numbness to her face. This was going on for weeks & then her tongue went numb. The doctor informed her that her tongue shouldn't be numb as it's to do with different nerves. She went for a head scan 2 weeks ago, within 2 days she was called in to see her doctor who said that unfortunately some abnormal cells had been found & that it most likely would be secondary cancer. A CT scan was booked for the following Friday. That afternoon she was called back to the doctors to be told that she had a 2.6cm mass on her lower left lung. Today she has been to see her consultants who have booked her in for a biopsy on Wednesday & she should be starting her treatment next week. My mum is a healthy 60 year old with 4 children & 7 grandchildren. The thought of not having her in our life is just heartbreaking. I'm trying my hardest to stay positive but it's just so hard.
