Hello, I'm Shirley

I was rushed into hospital in November with Sepsis. Turned out I had a mass on the right lung and several lymph nodes in the chest.

Currently undergoing chemo and then an operation to remove mass, it is 9cm x 9cm x9cm. Phew

  • Hi.

    Not coping to well, my sisters husband is end of life ( not cancer) so I'm trying to cope with that & help my sister as well, which TBH I'm not much help to her at the minute.

    I took the call on the 18th Feb re my husbands pet scan results, as he cannot deal with any of it.

    Doc said theres a 5cm mass & one inflamed lymph node which is looking suspicious for cancer & a biopsy being done this Weds 26th something called EBUS. Doctor said to tell my husband its treatable otherwise they wouldnt be going through this process.

    But I dont know if she said that to keep us both calm or being honest. My mind days how can she know this without a biopsy.

    I'm really struggling with everything & just called the Macmillan help line for a chat as I just feel my legs will give way when its time for results. I cant even face going to hospital with him for the biopsy.

    Its like a daily living hell...
