Hi everyone thank yous all so much for replying to my post ,I didn't tell my family till 9 days after doc told me I have lung cancer on my doctors persistence, then when he phoned me week later he was persistent I tell my 16 Yr old son ,when he listened to my lungs in physical examination that's when he told me it wasn't good news ,why would he say all this if he wasn't 100% sure ,I missed a call to discuss my ct scan with another doctor but receptionist said nothing to worry about ,my own doc is on holiday should I wait till he's back to discuss this with him ,when I had bloods done told me my white cells have increased my liver count is up but I don't drink I've had this over the years with my liver I also have diebetis 2 my blood count was really high but doc said let's put that to the side just now I am so worried and confused what's going on so sorry for long txt thank you

    Hi there Kitty, I read your previous posts, and from what I know, there is no way a doctor can diagnose lung cancer from just hearing, they can get a decent idea, but honestly, if a CT scan was clear, then I'd say it's very highly unlikely that you have lung cancer, very weird! You should ask for a biopsy of what the doctor believes the cancer is! As that will be the only way to know for sure! Very weird situation you're in! I hope it's not cancer, here's hoping for good news!

    To be honest, his insistence would be weird even if he was sure. It's surely up to you when you tell people. Especially your son. You know him best. I might be missing something, of course, but a doctor ringing you up to insist you tell your son? That seems weird. In addition to what others are saying.

    Could you get a second opinion?
