Hi, I am looking for advice and support regarding my Dad who up until may was a fit and healthy 59 year old,never smoked and went to the gym. Then suddenly he came down with an ear infection that got so severe he had to go to a&e, he ended up in hospital for 6 weeks where they diagnosed him with vasculitis GPA. Now last week after a consultation follow up from a lung biopsy he had previously had 6 weeks ago he got told they have found small cell cancer. We are all extremely surprised as we got told the shadows on his lungs looked to be just vasculitis. Now we're awaiting a cat scan so drs can see if the cancer has spread and work out what is cancer and what is vasculitis in his lungs. He currently on steroids and cyclo chemo for his vasculitis. His kidneys are damaged too from the Vasculitis. I've so many questions and just wondered if anyone has had both before and what treatment they were aloud to have? Drs are puzzled themselves which makes us more nervous about what's going to happen next. He is responding well to his vasculitis treatment but cannot stop any of that medication.
thank you
