Cant sleep....

Husbands lung tests being done on Sat 1st Feb & PET/CT scan 7th Feb, just waiting on the head MRI.

Still cant believe this is happening....still no signs of illness

Whats a PET/CT instead of a PET scan?

All this from a routine chest x ray.

A 5cms lung lesion/mass & one inflamed lymph node.

Nobody will say what else it can be, everywhere u ring for scans or questions is a cancer hub.

Theres no hope....I dont know why they just dont do a biopsy to put us out of this hell. We cant eat sleep function. I'm taking sedatives from my GP to try & calm me down. I'm no use to him at all as I already know the outcome.....seen it too many times.

How we'll both be when called in for results I just dont know. One of the cancer nurses as said she'll be present when that time comes. They must know its cancer I've asked what else could it be & no answers.

Its 12.30 now & I'm still searching online for some hope of what outcome it could be.

Why doesnt he have any symptoms....wheres the cough fever shortness of brreath blood etc

I just dont get it....within a heartbeat living as gone.....
