It's come back

my dad had half his lung removed in December and was given the all clear. Today on my parents 52 anniversary he was told it had returned on the lung lining and was inoperable and chemo won't help. I'm mum , devastated, angry and so so sad. It was only thanks to my mum who insisted on another ct scan because dad had been in such pain for the last 3 months, that it was picked up. The doctors have been saying the pain was down to the after effects of the operation. I'm so angry that they say it's come back, I think it was there all the time

  • Hi Angiespangle,

    Hearing those words 'it's come back' and on your parents'  fifty second anniversary must have been devastating for you and your family. I am so sorry about the sad news you received on what should have been a special day for your family.

    Many here will know exactly how you feel at the moment, how hard it must be for you, for your dad and for your mum. I will let them come and share their own story with you as it does help to talk to someone who can really understand what you are going through at the moment. 

    Best wishes,
