Newly diagnosed with lung cancer

Been diagnosed with lung cancer a 3.5 cm tumour next to my heart which I’ve heard they don’t operate on.  I’ve got necrotic lymph nodes on opposite side of my chest.  I’m absolutely terrified.  Waiting on biopsy results of the lymph nodes they think they got.  

  • Welcome to the forum Staceorlee although I'm sorry to hear about your lung cancer diagnosis.

    Knowing that the tumour can't be operated on must be very difficult so it's completely understandable why you're feeling so scared at the moment but hopefully the biopsy results will bring good news when they come through and other treatments can be used instead.

    I hope some of our members offer their support and advice to you soon but if you'd like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses they're available on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to answer any questions you may have and support you whilst you wait for your results.

    Do let us know what happens if you feel up to it Staceorlee. We'll be thinking of you and as I mentioned above, we'll have our fingers crossed for a good outcome.

    Kind regards,
