Posted a bit of this in the 'Introduce yourself' part of the forum but as a quick recap...
Had a persistent cough, went to see the doc who suggested an X-Ray, and then a CT and now I have a PET scan in the next 2 weeks. Shadow on my right lung indicating....you know what. I never smoked. Meeting a McMillan nurse at my consultation, who has lovely, was the other big indicator of what is happening.
I was blown away initally but a bit better now after the inital shock. That said I may live longer than I think, don't know yet but right now there are so many thoughts going through my head. i guess the same ones everyone else has.
Thought I'd get another 15-20 years, I'm only 52 now.
I haven't told anyone and slightly wished I hadn't told my wife/mum that I am having a PET scan because if you google those it pretty much describes it as a cancer scan. Perhaps it'll be a way to gently break the news.
We've booked a holiday in 4 weeks and I will get confirmation before then. I'll keep the result to myself otherwise it won't be the best holiday.
Planning for the future for anything at the moment seems a bit pointless but I have to keep acting is if i have one (and I may have one).
At this pointi ti s good to 'talk' on here as I can't talk to anyone else.
