Cancer all over

I have a family member who has secondary lung cancer with many tumours around the lung and also bone and spinal cancer, there are also other lumps in the neck and throat and potential lymph nodes. Family are a little secretive but wondered if anyone else has been through this and knows what this will mean, is it fast spreading cancer?

  • Hello Mlr08

    I'm sorry to hear that you have a family member who is living with secondary lung cancer. It sounds like it's a difficult situation for all of you. 

    It's difficult for anyone here to say if this is a "fast spreading" cancer. That would be a question that only your loved one's doctors might be able to answer, as there are so many different factors to take into consideration. 

    We have information on our website about secondary cancer that may be of interest to you. 

    I hope that your family member is getting all the care and support they need to remain comfortable. 

    Best wishes,
