I feel for u. My sis is sick too. 

Thankyou,she is at the hospital now getting results of her lung biopsy but as it has spread to her brain ,I fail t see what there is to tell,I feel nobody is answering me

It's shocking isn't it...my sister was admitted with what we thought was a mini stroke and within an hour all this came out xx

Omg how old is she if u don't mind me asking

With us they kept saying she's too young no family history u know the usual. She complained for years and she's always dismissed until they felt hard lumps inside of her tummy then it's too late

She's 64 x

Hello and thanks for your post

Thank you for your question. Our moderator wondered if the nurse team could help. I am sorry to learn about your sister’s situation. This must be a very difficult time for you both.

The place where a cancer starts in the body is called the primary cancer or primary site. If cancer cells spread to another part of the body the new area of cancer is called a secondary cancer or a metastasis. Cancer has the ability to spread elsewhere in the body but it doesn’t mean that it definitely will. Many people will have symptoms of their primary cancer but some people’s primary cancer is so small that it doesn’t cause any obvious symptoms. It’s only when the cancer has spread to another area of the body that it causes symptoms.

I hope this is of some use. Please do get back to us if you have any more questions or call us on 0808 800 4040. We are here from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Best wishes,

Thankyou so much,yesterday she had results of lung biopsy,she went into room stating nobody would be hearing time limits or anything bad and that was the end of it....she also got told it has spread to her pelvis now.
