Lung cancer

So Valentine's day 2019 I received devastating news that I have lung cancer.   I had EBUS and lung function test last Friday.  I had no symptoms .am a non smoker. I am in my 10 th year free from Breast cancer.   I am awaiting a pet scan so that treatment can be planned and started asap.   Devastating news.....still in shock..

  • So sorry to hear this. The shock is  so hard to deal with. Hopefully, you'll feel better when you get your treatment plan.

    The lack of symptoms is not unusual. My partner was disagnosed with lung cancer in October and had no symptoms apart from one incident when he coughed up some blood. The doctor and the bronchial team were convinced it was nothing until we had the pet scan, when the world changed.

    However, he's doing well now.

    Stay strong-I'll be thinking of you.

  • Sorry to hear this - my dad was diagnosed and found after a doctors visit for a bad chest (he has COPD)
