Waiting for confirmation of diagnosis

Hi everyone.

I can't believe I'm writing on here, I was told today I have a very high probability of having lung cancer. I have an echocardiogram and advanced lung function clinic appointment on Tuesday, a PET scan on Wednesday and an appointment with the consultant to discuss treatment options next Friday.

To be honest, my heads in a bit of a whirl, and I go from 'nope, not happening' to 'OMG its really happening' every 10 minutes or so. I don't know what to think or what to expect. I just wanted to write it all down to see if it feels any more real. 

Thanks for letting me ramble

  • Thanks for the support. I've had tge confirmation that it is lung cancer, but tge PET also noted some spots on my liver and esophagus. The consultant doesn't think that these are cancer, but I can't have tge surgery for the lung until these are confirmed as non cancer. Hopefully I'll have my MRI on the liver and endoscopy done next week. I'm still in a bit of a whirl and still fliiting between denial and abject terror ...
