Hello Joolz1985 and a big welcome to Cancer Chat, 

I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. Your mum did the right thing in mentioning to the GP that she was feeling very tired but I can imagine your shock and hers as she had no other symptoms when you were told they have found a shadow in her lung. It's reassuring though that her bloods have come back normal and her chest sounded clear.

It won't be long now until Tuesday when she has her CT scan and hopefully some definite answers and I thought I would share with you these helpful tips to help you and your mum cope while waiting for important news. I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

Keeping everything crossed for your mum that it all turns out to be nothing of concern.  

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator

Thank you so much for replying. 

In the last week I have been emotionally in bits. I'm awaiting the trial for my ex domestic violence next month and this is playing on my mind. I'm on my own with a little girl so I'm feeling very isolated and finding it hard to control my feelings.

Hopefully I'll find some comfort here
