Hi my mum had a seizure and was sent to hospital,they done a mri scan of body and head and they said she had swelling of the brain,which might be cancer or a abscess.the doctors come around and said it was cancer but they are not sure if it started in her brain,she had a body scan and they said it has come back clear but know they have said it may of come from her lung.we are very confused.they have sent her home and said they are looking at all the scans and coming up with a plan and they will ring her today but no one has rang.i lost my dad 10years ago he was 55of cancer and the thought of losing my mum aswell frightens the life out of me

  • Welcome to our forum, Lillian1950,

    It does sound like a very confusing situation. Did you find out more since you posted on here? Did they ring in the end and do you know anything else? If you wanted to talk to our nurses, don't hesitate to ring them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm (it's a free number from UK landlines).

    I can understand why you are terrified after what happened to your dad. It must be a very frightening time for you especially as you still have many questions left unanswered. I hope this forum will bring you some comfort though during this difficult time.

    Best wishes,
