Worried about.results..

[Cullis]

I was diagnosed with a tumour on my left lung which has appeared after a touch of pneumonia it showed up in my ct scan I have also had bronscopy and pet scan they said the tumour has appeared quite quickly and could be a result of my peuniomia I had xray in November and December and it wasn't there .it was only after peuniomia that it appeared I am a ex smoker is it possible that the tumour is a result of my peuniomia..i have to see the Doctors on Friday for my results..A worried man John.

[Cullis in reply to ianmac2]

Thanks for your reply..I guess I am hoping for someone to tell me something positive about Friday..

[ianmac2 in reply to Cullis]

[Cullis in reply to ianmac2]

No it's doctors in hospital to see about my biopsy results..I'm worried it could be something serious..

[Cullis]

Is lung cancer painful.

[mrsmummy in reply to Cullis]

Cullis there are no doctors on here. There is a pulmonary nurse on the helpline. Why not give them a ring tomorrow? The number is 03000 030 555 and they are there during office hours. The nurse obviously can't diagnose you over the phone but she will be able to answer a lot of your questions.

Hello John.

I'm sorry you are going through this. I know what waiting is like. Please know that not every tumour is cancerous. And since you've had pneumonia it could be stemming from that. Thinking of you for Friday and hoping for the best outcome possible.

Hope it all goes well on Friday.

Difficult to say if cells were damaged at the time of the pneumonia as the bronchoscopy was done once the tumour appeared.

It looks like doctors are taking good care of you. You have had all the necessary tests.

Let us know how you are getting on x

[Cullis in reply to Hidden]

I will let you know tomorrow here's hoping it is good news..x

I’m sorry you’re having such a worrying time, John. As others have said, tumours in the lung are not always cancerous. My husband had a similar diagnosis after a bronchoscopy and a CT scan. It was removed via a rigid bronchoscopy under general anaesthetic, then tested. It turned out to be benign, thankfully. It had to be removed because it was blocking an airway, but in other positions in the lung, they are not always removed. Good luck and I hope things go well for you. Let us know, we’ll be thinking of you.

Difficult not to worry, but try to stay as calm and positive as you can till your appointment Friday. I had lung cancer in 2008; it was found early and surgically removed quickly. I never had any pain and am still in remission, so eternally grateful it was found early. Best of luck for Friday xx

[Cullis in reply to Dedalus]

Thanks for that...I will stay positive x

John--Try not to jump the gun and worry--I know that's easy said--but try--Go to the Dr Friday and see what they come up with--In the meantime put it on back burner --Half the things we worry about never happen--This could be one of them--The fact that it arrived with pneumonia means it could very well be because of that--Good luck and prayers--Mmet
