just been told I have a tumour in lower lung

I have had the x=rays ct scans and I have a 5cm tumor in my right lower lung..had a Endoscopy and they were unable to get any samples to acertain what type I have...now the want to send me for another Endoscopy with Ultra sound at Southampton Hospital but I could wait 3 weeks for an appointment.......do you think I should say something about the waiting time.....

thanks

  • Good Morning Chick, you could ask if there is another hospital close by that has an earlier slot? Or ask for a cancellation slot.

     Ians CT scan was on the 2nd of August since then he has had 2 lots of biopsys, 2 specalist appointments.My husbands 1st available oncologist appointment was at a hospital 15 miles away but we took it, as to us it was paramount that we started on his treatment sooner than later. He starts his chemo in about 3 weeks.

    It might seem like an age but when the ball starts rolling it rolls quickly 

    Much love x Lesley x
