Before all of this she coughed up a bit of bright red blood in her flem. she also has clubbed fingers. she has been on anti biotics, she says she feels fit and well. she has a biopsy next week, and a pet scan and bronchopy. im 26 i live with my family and i have a little girl who is 5. im really really worrying, does anybody have some positive storys for me? will be very appreciate. would never believed i would find myself here. thank you so much

  • Hello Megan114
    I'm sorry to hear that your Mum is dealing with a health concern at the moment. I'm sure it's a very difficult time for you both. 

    We know that many members will understand how difficult this period of uncertainty can be. Waiting for tests and results can be a worrying time and it's natural to be feeling anxious about what this may be. 

    I wonder if you'd find it helpfu lto talk things through with one of our nurses? I'm sure they will be able to offer some support and advice. If you'd like to speak to them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Do let us know how your Mum gets on with her biopsy next week. 

    Best wishes,
