Hiya, I'm posting for the first time, my mums 78 and has now been told it looks like she has lung cancer on top of already being diagnosed with myeloma (11 years but been doing trials sucessfully) then skin cancer and now this mass on her lung. She had been in for a invasive biopsy last week but unfortunately it failed because the mass is tucked away in a corner of her lung, so doctors had no results from that, they have given her a couple of options, they can go in for another biopsy but it's worse than first biopsy because they would need to go in through her back, the other choice is to leave it. I am stunned and shocked by all this news, my head feels like it has been through a vice. I am supporting my mum as best as I can, we are very lucky as my dad 80 is caring for my mum so doing my best to support him too. I know I am lucky to have had my parents for so long I my life and I'm trying to keep that thought. This covid 19 is too much on top of all this rubbish news. Thank you for reading and hope to hear from others going through similar. 

  • Hi, I'm so sorry your going through this..

    Its so hard, I feel just like you too!

    my Nan, 89 (like my mum, she brought me up.)

    Has just been diagnosed with advanced primary lung cancer that has spread into the lining, lymph nodes amd bust.

    They won't give her treatment as she's so frail, 

    she only went to the doctors 5 weeks ago & now she's barely able to hold herself up..

    we've been told she has minimal months,

    like you said you just can't believe it.

    How life can just turn you upside down like this!

    Its been a horrible year with COVID and the sudden death of my dad in June.

    I really hope you get the results necessary to be able to get the right treatment fast!

    keep strong ️
