Hi everyone,
So my dad had lung cancer in January 2021 and only needed surgery to remove the tumor and he was fine but unfortunately 2 weeks ago he went for a review where he had an urgent chest x ray which demonstrated a new right hilar mass and right sided pleural effusion. There is clear evidence of right paracardiac mass which strongly suggests of lung cancer recurrence we know nothing yet properly apart from the fluid in his lung which needs to be drained and the new mass. We're just waiting for his appointment now to have it drained and biopsy at the same time. Does that mean he could have cancer in the fluid as well as a tumor? I just want this appointment to come quickly now so we know where we're at!! Could it even be something non cancerous? I don't know but my patience is wearing thin. Anyone else experience something like this? I would appreciate if anyone could shed light on anything. Thank you
