Lung cancer diagnosis

hi all 

we are going to the hospital for the results of my mums pet scan on Thursday.  Following a biopsy she was diagnosed with nsclc in her left lung. I’m so scared, upset and worried about the results. And I know she is too. She’s had two bouts of pneumonia in 10 weeks which is how we found the cancer. I still can’t believe it’s happening as she looks so well. I can’t stop crying. Today she’s just started with a chesty cough and I’m worrying about what that could be and hoping the pneumonia isn’t coming back. 

I read all the lovely posts on this forum and feel even more sad and upset that so many people are having such a terrible time. 

I’m praying that on Thursday we get good results x 

  • Hi everyone

    I just wanted to update you on today. It wasn’t the news we wanted. My mums results are T4, n2 and M1c and the cancer has spread.  We are distraught. We are still waiting for marker results too but I don’t really know what they are for. 

    We were hoping the lung tumour was localised (nsclc) and that they could do surgery. That’s now not possible and we are looking at chemo. If anyone has any positive outcomes from a similar diagnosis i’d Love to hear them. 

    Thanks x
