Living with fine uncertainy before biopsy

My partner after being diagnosed  with lung cancer stage 4 was due a biopsy 10 days ago, the machine was not working so now it is on Tuesday the results are being rushed through. so we see  the consultant  on Thursday ,then we may know more about treat ment and what to do.

In mean time  he is getting worse and we are no wiser.

I am devistated  shocked and don't know what to do.

  • Hello Jassyanne,

    I just wanted to reach out and apologise no one replied to your post sooner.

    I'm sorry to hear about your partner, what an incredibly difficult situation this must be for the both of you.

    There is some information on our website about lung cancer which you might find useful to read. Also, if you feel like speaking to someone medically trained might help, feel free to contact our cancer nurses, they're available on this phone number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

    Best wishes to you both,

  • Hello Jassyanne

    I just wated to send you a message of solidarity, and welcome.  I was diagnosed with lung cancer last year.  It's very very scary and I can understand why you're shocked and devastated.  I hope by now that your partner has been able to see the consultant and get some more information about the way forward. One reassuring thing I've found is that once you;re in the system, you receive follow-ups and treatment very quickly.

    Please let us know how you and your partner get on.  

    I had a follow-up CT scan yesterday and have to wait about a week for the results.  It's definitely the waiting which is the worst thing.  Good luck!

    Pamela.
