Hello, I’m 72 and two weeks ago was told I have multiple ground glass nodules in both lungs with larger ones in both right and left upper lobes which are partially solid, 12mm and highly indicative of malignancy.
I’m having a PETCT scan this Wednesday, then possibly biopsies before referral to oncology for immunotherapy/chemo.
i have been told it’s inoperable and incurable.
I have been telling my GP for more than 2 years that I’m short of breath but I kept being told‘It’s your heart failure’ (which is well controlled). I had started to think it was all in my head.
I’m short of breath most of the time, even just getting up in the morning leaves me too breathless to talk.
i’m a retired District nurse so I probably know too much!
I am scared, can’t eat and feel sick all the time. My gp has given me Valium.
I really don’t know what I’m asking for!
