Hi.

Not sure if I'm doing this right but here goes. My MIL was diagnosed with stomach cancer t4 inoperable in july this year and given palliative chemo. She completed her chemo treatment at the start of this month and has had a scan but was told she'd have to wait 7 weeks for the results. A previous scan halfway through her treatment showed 2 tumours in her stomach and both had reduced. The scan she had recently the doctors must have had a quick glance at as they told her they've noticed she has cavities on her lungs which could be an infection or or could be cancer. 

Why would they leave her so long after telling her about the cavities on her lungs? She's now worried sick and taking her frustration out on my husband by being nasty to him with her comments. This isn't all the time and we understand its because of her fears but she's upsetting my husband by doing so. I think if the doctors would tell her if it was secondary cancer or not it would help as the uncertainty is unbearable for everyone.

Thanks in advance.
