Hi all, I'll try to be brief.
Its my Father. Routine X-ray led from one thing to another. A lump on his lung was found a year ago. The doctor reassured him not cancer. Said to come back in a year to make sure not grown. It hadn't and he had more scans, biopsies etc. They have now found another lump on the same right lung. Original doctor still said confident first lump not cancer, but referred him to someone else. He has now said he thinks they are cancer, can't have chemo because of the distance between them and intends to remove 2/3 of right lung, subject to fitness. He said no point having biopsy, as this won't show whether cancer or not???
Really upset/confused and angry at why this wasn't sorted a year ago.
any advice appreciated. We've told him to seek second opinion, which is now in the process of being sorted.
John
