In 2015 my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer, he did amazing with operation and chemo. He had lower lobe on left removed. Due to it being diagnosed at very early stage he was part of a clinical trial, and was monitored very closely. In 2019 it came back!, he had a lower lobe removed on right side. However he didn't have chemo due to covid. :(
In December 2023 he had to go for his regular scan ( always December for results in January)
He went on 10.1.24 and the consultant advised there is a "thickening" on right side which they wanted to look into. Dr said he didn't think it was cancer and told my dad not to worry.
He has had blood tests, lung function test, head scan and has a pet scan on 22.1.24. He has already told us that if it is back he is not having chemo (if it is an option). I am trying to stay strong to support him and my mum, and my motto has always been that no matter how hard it is for me, he is the one that has to go through all this.
Don't really know what I expect anyone to say really I just needed somewhere to go. I have siblings but they aren't very supportive, my partner and my kids do there best, but after my husband lost his mum in January 2023 I don't like to burden him with my emotions and thoughts.
My kids are 23 and 12 and i don't feel it is fair to put on them.
On a more positive note mum and dad had a holiday to Babbacombe which they have left for this morning, i just hope it distracts them from normality. My dad isn't sleeping great either. said his head is wrecked.
Sorry if this ramble doesn't make any sense, I just needed to get it out there.
