Lung cancer

My husband had been bad for a couple of weeks with a cough doctors thought it was an infection at first but antibiotics did not do anything. Had X-ray showed shadow on lung had ct scan which showed a hard shell like shape on his lung. A biopsy was sent off but doctor said that no cancer was present in the cells. The doctor is now deciding whether to put the camera down to look more closely into the lung or to see if it could be something else. Does this mean he could be cancer free if the cells had no cancer in them. I’m still worried as we still not sure what it is 

  • Hi Carol62,

    I'm sorry to read this and I can imagine this is worrying.

    Unfortunately I'm unsure of the answer to your question. It may be best to discuss this with your husband's doctor. You can also call our nurses if you would like to discuss anything - you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
