biopsy results - been told I have SCLC with tumour on brain

hi 

i was told just over 2.5 weeks ago that i have non small cell lung cancer,( non smoker young and healthy) ended up in A&E for sommething eles can out with a tumour on the brain that was found to be secondary, to the lung...i have had no symptoms at all this was a real shock...

Have had all the scans/biopsy done was told 2 weeks for the full results but that seems to be changing as they have moved my appointment from the 23rd to 30th oct sayng they don't think they will have them back by then.

getting very frustrated not seeing someone getting a plan for treatment etc.

is this normal?

  • Hello I understand you.when I was diagnosed with breast cancer with mets in my lungs in May 2019 I was waiting 2xmonths for chemo to start.i was doing well on chemo just found out 2 weeks ago it went to my brain.So I have to start the radiotherapy next week hope so.Seems like for the doctors once you are diagnosed with advanced cancer one 1 week or 1xmonth is not important.

    I have to complain to get the treatment.if I would you I would chase it up and complain.
