Hello everyone,

I am new to this group. I have joined because 48 hours ago someone very close to me has been diagnosed with cancer. It came as a huge shock, and it has knocked me and my family so bad. 
The initial issue was a lump in the lymph node (just above the collar bone). This lump was biopsied and not in our wildest dreams were we expecting the results we got. According to the ENT specialist (who delivered the results) the biopsy showed that cancer cells were present in the node, but it WAS NOT lymph related cancer. It was showing cells from the lung, which we believe means it is lung cancer. We were made aware that it is 100% from another part of the body and had worked its way to the lymph. We are very much in the dark at the moment as the ENT Dr could not tell us much more. We were told that a cancer specialist will be in touch in the coming days to arrange a CT scan.

I have been googling (which I know I shouldn't do, especially when I don't know the full picture). But everything that comes back in such sad and terrible results. 
 

This result has came as a huge shock for us all, as we had prepared ourselves for the potential of it being cancer. But not once did we think it would be lung cancer. The lump in the neck is the only symptom that the patient has had. When you read up on lung cancer he has not had any of the symptoms, nor has he been poorly, or unwell in anyway. I 

aware that lung cancer does not always present symptoms, and for me, this is the scariest part. 
 

I have been a mess since I found out. I am desperately trying to remain positive and strong, but I'm finding it very difficult. I am praying for a positive outcome. If anyone can potentially shed any light or knows of a similar experience I would love to know your story. 
 

Thank you
