Hello my name is Julie and im new to this forum....
I have just been to the hospital with my mam and sister and it has been confirmed that the recent stay in hospital for my mam with a collapsed lung is caused by cancer an Adenocarcinoma we have to wait till Thursday to find out the plan of action after the MDT meeting. She has gone home to break the news to my poor dad who has Parkinsons disease... she is 71 and he is 73. We lost my uncle 3 years ago age 56 with oesophageal cancer from diagnosis to death was 10 months.My mam has fought breast cancer, my sister also had breast cancer and my father had non hodgkins lymphoma. I am the luckiest person alive so far to have swerved the bullet that is cancer in my family. Im waiting for my husband to come home to tell him the news I feel detached and so sad.
