Confused

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this post, my nan got told she had slow growing lung cancer 5 months ago they could not give her a definite diagnosis as the biopsy did not help as all the nodules were to small but they have said they are sure its cancer but they have not offered any treatment or follow ups for a year. We are now worried as she has been poorly for about 2 weeks with headaches a cough and pain in her legs and also cant see very well we have tried to contact her specialist with no luck but her doctor is sending her for a brain scan, has anyone had this with lung cancer as we are very worried as she has just been left really with no information or help and googling it is making us worse may thanks 

  • Hi there ... at least your nan is getting a brain scan ... I'm surprised she was just left with no follow up checks ... but you can always phone McMillan on their free phone number ... or on here on the home page you can find the number ... that's Mon to Friday. . But it may be good to actually talk to someone qualified to answer your questions .. wer just people going through or caring for someone with cancer ... and everything is different and depends what part of the country too ..

    Googling is always scary ... as they seem to give worse case sinarios on everything ... so try the helpline.. and see what the scan brings up ... take care ... Chrissie x
