When to tell my Son.

Hello, not been diagnosed yet but I've been told it probably is lung cancer, such a shock it was picked up by accident on a abdominal ct scan, which was normal, no symptoms, fit and healthy for my age (66) cycling everyday. Had CT scan, PET scan, neck scan, heart scan, bronchoscopy yesterday and MRI brain scan today. Sorry to go on, I know you are all going through this terrible thing. Only my husband knows, have two grown up sons, my youngest 35 gets married in 5 weeks and I want to try my best not to spoil his day and if I can wait until after. I'd really appreciate your help, I'm sick with worry.

  • Morning Pam

    How  are you doing today? I hope you're managing to enjoy some of this lovely weather. I know that thinking of anything other than what's going on is really hard though. 
     

    It sounds like you are a super active person - that's great! I love swimming but a little bit of my scar has refused to heal properly and I've not been able to swim since my operation. I really miss it. I have a clinic app this Friday morning. I'm hoping they'll say I'm good to go now. I'd like to get going again before I get bogged down with chemo. 
     

    Do you work or are you retired? I'm a teacher. I've not been in school since June! Feels like ages! I was due to go back but school have been hit with a number of COVID cases so I've stayed away. They all break up on Friday though. 
     

    Sending love. Chat soon. Sarah xx 

  • Hi Pam, 

    I just noticed you were a tad unsure about private messaging on the forum so I just wanted to make you aware of our handy FAQs. You just need to scroll down to the private messaging section to find out more.

    I hope this helps :happy:
