Lesion on lung behind heart

Hi. I have just been told I have a lesion in my lung behind my heart. I asked what size and was told it was moderate and that did not mean a lot. The person at the Hospital was not very helpful with questions I asked. This was discovered on Ct scan. They are arranging that I have test with with ultrasound camera into my windpipe and take biopsy. She said the cancer nurse will ring me regarding the appointment.  Any advice would be helpful. I will visit my Gp tomorrow and ask some questions there.

thanks

  • Hi Maggierose,

    I hope you find out more about the lesion soon and that it proves not to be cancer. I have recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and there are others on this site in the same situation. Please get in touch to let us know how the tests go and I will be thinking of you at this worrying time.

  • Hi Joy, I have a date for bronsocopy on the 24th February. I'm not looking forward to that. I will get the results on the 3rd March. I'm so sorry you have been diagnosed with this horrible thing. Keep in touch and let me know what treatment you will receive. I have asked how big the lesion is but they just say moderate which could be any size. It's inoperable because it's just behind my heart. It's hard waiting for answers, you must have been through that recently.

    Take care and keep in touch.
