Hi Looloo,

I'm really sorry to hear about your mum :( 

I'm not really sure what to say as I'm new on here but just wanted to reach out so you don't feel alone.

It's a horrible feeling not knowing what will happen, I'm waiting a diagnosis myself and fearing that I could be leaving my two little girls without a mummy :(

Hi,

I know how worried you will be but please try not to think the worst until they know what the primary cancer is. The cells taken in the biopsy will show what type of cancer has caused the secondaries in her lymph nodes and lung. It will then depend on the type of cancer as to what treatment plan they will arrange. Not all secondary cancer is incurable - it all depends on what treatment is available and the success rate of that treatment. Even if a cancer is incurable, lots of treatments can keep the cancer stable and therefore more people 'live with'  cancer rather than 'die from' cancer. My cancer spread from my primary source to my lymph nodes but I'm still here 13 years later thanks to my treatment.

So stop looking on Dr Google, it just fuels anxiety. Wait until the results of your mum's biopsy come back and you know what type of cancer she has - then you know what you are researching. Good luck to your mum and I hope a swift treatment plan is put in place.
