Hi I'm a 45 year old woman with COPD, Emphysema, Heart Failure and diagnosed just last week with Stage 4 Lung Cancer and given 1 year to live!! Because I have quite severe COPD and Emphysema, the Dr's have said they are unwilling to even do a biopsy as too risky apparently......or I was going to be able to start some sort of very mild chemotherapy but they said no to that too.......I've got a nodule on each lung, the biggest is 26mm and a few smaller ones. The Dr said I've got maximum 1 year so I am presuming it could be a lot less depending on how quickly the Cancer spreads......They only found the cancer as doing a CT scan for my COPD. I have no symptoms for cancer and having just been the main carer for my 91 year old grandmother who passed away nearly a year ago from breat cancer, I think I know what to look out for. Sorry for rambling on and on xx
