Any thoughts or comments and opinions appreciated

  • I'm sorry to hear about the 20mm lung nodule that was found on your chest x-ray last month Jessie and that you're now awaiting the results of your CT scan.

    I know this must be very stressful, especially as you've had cancer before, but I just want you to know that our community are here for you and I'm sure some of our members will be along soon to offer you their support and advice.

    I know I can't take the worry away but I hope some of the tips and advice given in this article will help calm your nerves until you know more. Our team of cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to talk things through with them as well.

    We're thinking of you Jessie and will have our fingers crossed for a good outcome.

    Kind regards,
