Stage 3 lung cancer questions

Hello 

 

my dad was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer in January. Our absolute worst nightmare my dad has a couple of chest infections since June but kept getting brushed off and eventually sent for an X-ray which within 20 mins we were told he had cancer. It was then confirmed stage 3 lung cancer and he was put on 4 weeks of radiotherapy. It's such a horribly slow process and I'm going out of my mind. My dads treatment finished 5 weeks ago and wev been left in the dark no idea how treatment has worked. He has an appointment on June 1st to discuss if the trestment has worked. Can anyone shed some light on what happens at this appointment? I was under the impression he would have received a scan first to determine if there was any changes?

i am going out of my mind. I can't sleep, can't eat and just feel like I am drowning. Looking for some help or guidance as in what happens next?

  • Hi just going through this process with my dad he's only recently told me he has stage 3 lung cancer he starts his radiotherapy today, we have a strained relationship since my mum died so I'm not really sure what's going on as his partner takes him to appointments etc so I only know a little of what is happening am thinking this is going to be a rough journey I can only be there if he reaches out to me which hopefully he will.
