Hi everyone, I'm new here and was hoping some of you maybe able to give some advice or shed some light through your own experience.
My mum is 53 and is a long term Smoker. But generally fit and well. In January she contacted her local GP complaining of a sore side especially when coughing. Due to Covid she was only able to get a phone consultation. He diagnosed her with a pulled muscle and give a cream to apply. Fast forward to May she returned to doctor now having chest, spine, hip and chest pain. The pain is constant and even at rest is sore. They GP sent her for chest xray and the results showed something on or near 9th rib. She is now booked in for a Ct scan. I am terrified it may be lung cancer as her father died of lung cancer and also her half sister of breast cancer. Sorry for the long winded post. But anyone with any similar experiences able to give some advice? TIA
