I was diagnosed with squamous cell lung cancer 7 weeks ago after i had surgery to remove the tumour. They couldn't remove it all as it had spread to my oesophagus and they had to leave some on there in case they damaged the food pipe. Since then i was told that i was to be started on radiotherapy and chemotherapy on 30th December. I had a pet scan last week .

This morning i had a phone call from the doctor at the hospital to tell me they had cancelled my treatment and that the pet scan had shown that the cancer was back on my lung and they also want to do a biopsy on my oesophagus as soon as possible .i am so upset and anxious as i was told after a ct scan that the cancer had been removed and it was just showing scar tissue. This has been going on since may 23 when a routine lung scan picked up a nodule .i have been having regular scans where i was told it was nothing to worry about then the last 6 months it had grown so they decided to do a lung resection where they said they had removed 90%of the cancer . I am devastated to have had this phone call this morning .
