Lung cancer operation

Tomorrow I have my final chemo session, which is great, but this morning I had a phone call from my MacMillan lung nurse to tell me that in four week’s time I will be having a PET scan and after that, maybe two weeks later, I will have an operation.  I had hoped for radiotherapy but obviously not.  I was diagnosed several months ago with stage 1 lung cancer (on top of my ovarian cancer).

Any information about PET scan and/or the operation would be much appreciated.  To say I was disappointed is putting it mildly!!!

 

 

 

  • I'm sorry about the news your Macmillan lung nurse gave you Janpananny.

    I think the medical team looking after you will be in the best position to tell you more about your upcoming PET scan and operation but do feel free to give our cancer nurses a call if you'd like to have a quick chat with them about this.

    They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    Kind regards,
