Lung cancer recurrence

Hi so I am wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this 

Mother had lung cancer they operated and we were told it was successful no chemo required as they had it all, roll on 3 months and they have found two very large tumours where the lung was - how is this possible, they were clear 3 months ago 

What type of cancer could it be and he can it develope so quickly 

Thank you 

 

  • Hello SNew and thank you for posting.

    I'm sorry to read that they found two very large tumour where your mother's lung is after the operation which was declared successful only three months ago.

    Hopefully others here who can relate to this story will come along shortly but until they do, feel free to reach out to one of our nurses to ask some questions if you think speaking with someone with a medical background might help. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this freephone 0808 800 4040.

    The other thing I wanted to mention is that we have a page with information on lung cancer which might offer some insight if you're interested in having a read.

    I hope this helps a little.

    Best wishes to you and your mother,
