Lung cancer

Hi

After several CT Scans and a PETscan last week I have been told I have One tumour in left lower lobe and two small tumours in right lung. I am scared. I have a CT Guided needle biopsy on Friday. We were pleased when they said no lymph nodes affected. But I have since been told cancer in both lungs is Stage IV. I will have surgery or radiotherapy. Googling makes me have nightmares. Do I have long to live?

  • Hi Ronnie, 

    I'm sorry to read that you've been told you have stage iv cancer in both lungs.

    We have some information about the CT guided needle biopsy that you're due to have on Friday as well as lung cancer on our website just here but do give our cancer nurses a call if you'd like to have a chat with them about this and find out more. You can call them for free on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Wishing you all the best with your surgery and radiotherapy when the time comes Ronnie.

    Kind regards,
