My dear dad has had a CT which has shown 8cm mass on lung with invasion of pleura and mediastinum- T4 N3 M0, he had a letter about the 2 week referral system and is due to see a specialist on NHS next week. As everyone probably does, I have been scouring the internet based on the info from dads scan, came across Cyberknife, could only find 2 hospitals that offer it on the NHS but those and other options in London offer private treatment. An initial enquiry has indicated that the T4 staging means dad wouldn't be a suitable candidate but I found 2 clinic's in US so far who treat up to stage 4 even with local spreading of cancer, waiting for them to reply. I 'm worried that dad will be written off because he's 88, but prior to all this, you'd have thought he was 60, fit as a fiddle, never smoked or drank. Worried sick that they'll give us a short life span in appointment. I go between having hope, I know not curable but should be treatable to blind panic and breaking down. I'm going to write down all our questions based on the scan and research that I've done. Dad had a nodule found on his lung back in 2017 and they did last check-up scan in 2019 and said it hadn't grown so then scans stopped; I can't think about that as I could punch somebody. I know he may be offered other treatments, I won't give up whatever they say. You just feel so helpless.
