Hi all. I'm new to the group and going out of my mind right now. Me and my husband came back from our hols in August with terrible chest infections. I was coughing up blood, he wasn't.  My infection eventually cleared up but his lingered. He got a GP appointment but had to wait 6 weeks. They sent him for an xray then he got a phone call from the gp to say don't worry-it's not cancer, you've still got an infection, and was given antibiotics for 5 days. He perked up but the antibiotics had run out. He rang the gp and, after 4 days of them faffing around, was sent another prescription for another 5 day course. He felt better again but the antibiotics ran out again and he got worse. He then had a follow up xray and was told then that he had to go for a blood test and ct scan.  No explanation given as to why.  Then we got a phone call from a Macmillan nurse telling him he had a lung lesion and abnormal lymph glands and had to go for an EBUS biopsy, PET scan and breathing test. He's had all these now and have a date for the results next Tuesday at the Macmillan Cancer Care unit at our local hospital. No explanation has been given as to why that department. Does this mean he definitely has cancer? The wait is agonising and can't stop crying. He is a smoker and I'm thinking the odds of it not being cancer are looking pretty slim.
