2 years ago I had a tumour removed from my lung plus 2 ribs removed then 4 lots of chemo followed by 30 sessions of radiotherapy for the past 2 years all has been well but a while back I started getting pain and it  basically poohooed by the doctors ,I've been told it's scar tissue phantom pain or  inflammation I've been on various pain killers and had every scan you can think of .

Last week I had a lung biopsy and today I have been told the results are showing cancer ,I've been told I can't have anymore radiotherapy  ( I also have had breast cancer twice ) but there are options which will be discussed in 2 weeks time as I have to have a ct scan and they are still running tests .....what I'd like to know is what questions I should have asked and will ask next time .....I just went blank today and didn't really ask much ....Thanks 

  • Hi there lee .. so sorry to here you are going through this again .... I was like you after I heard the word cancer , nothing else registered ... right over my head though I know I was nodding ... luckily I took my daughter in law along with me and she took pen and paper ... so if you have someone to take with you next time, it will be really helpful ... you can write things down now on a pad as and when you think of them ... just remember to take it with you .... 

    Once they get all the info from those different tests they will probably have a clearer picture of what they can offer you .... there’s a helpline on here if you want something explained ... and any questions you have that are medical ... post on ask the nurses ... they are a mine of information .... 

    hope that helps a little ... and welcome to our little chat room where you can ask or talk about anything ... take care Chrisie xx
