Waiting for ct scan tomoro to verify lung cancer

Hi everyone.

I had x ray Monday 15th March2021. Today 16th of march 2021 had phone from hospital that they want do ct scan tomorrow 17th March 2021 at 3.30pm. Also today this afternoon gp called me to go in to see her about x ray results. So she said x ray has shown something up on it. And told her I've got ct scan tomorrow. So I asked could it be cancer she we will wait for scan results on Thurs or Fri this week. I asked do you think it could be cancer she said I think it could be and she said as a precaution I will sign you up on the lung cancer list, what does that mean does it mean I have lung cancer and the ct scan is being done to verify it. I'm so confused and upset and frightened and scared now. I do not not know what to think. Can anyone on here tell me if you've been through same ordeal as I'm just worrying so much. Thank you all. Joby. 

  • Hi Joby,

    So sorry. Please don't panic. Let the doctors take the biopsy and give you a full report on what it actually is. Plus it appears it's only in one lung? It could be very early stages but the doctors will confirm that to you. I know it's not the news you wanted but I'm so grateful it's been caught now. 
     

    Continue on your spirit to fight and you will most definitely win!

  • Thank you Annie your so kind. I'm waiting for Lung specialist got wait upto 2 weeks. I'm having an heart monitor connected to me on Thursday at 1.30pm for 24 hours because the sharp pain from left lung sets my heart raising so they want to see what it does so they will know from the readings when I take monitor back of me Friday. It never rains it pours. Lol. All well hopefully soon lung will be sorted. God bless you and your dad. Speak to you soon Annie. Joby. Xx

  • Hi, sorry to hear ur going through a bad time xx I’ve just gone through endometrial and thought come through it when a ct to check if clear came up with 2 shadows on lungs, so had pet scan 2 days ago and oncologist wants to see me on Tuesday, so very scared as so quick.

    When u say ur having pain is this is your back. I’m having a dull ache in the middle back, it feels stretched and uncomfortable and now worried this is lst symptom of cancer,
