Some advice please!!

My mum has pleural effusion and had ction scan of lungs which didn't show any tumours and had fluid taken which didn't have cancer cells but did have protein. Then had to have ct scan of abdomen and was phoned next day to bring her in earlier for follow up with consultant and that the appointment would be 1.5 hours long? We are now concerned they found something on the scan. My mum has had bladder cancer twice and got all clear 3 years ago. Any advice appreciated 

 

  • Hi Willow and welcome to the forum.

    It's understandable why you're concerned but try not to think the worse if you can. I know that must be difficult given your mum's history, but it could just be that they're bringing her in earlier due to another slot becoming available. 

    Hopefully you'll hear from some of our members who have been in a similar position soon but if you'd like to have a chat with someone about this then do give our cancer nurses a call. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    Best wishes to you both,
