Hi Ragrug, I am so sorry to hear that news. Cancer is a wicked disease, as is any lung disease. Hopefully, if confirmed, they can go ahead and treat it. There are 4 options to treat it, so one of them will be right for you. I have heard great things about the Spanish health service as well. Let's know how things progress.

Remember that having a positive mind can really make a difference to recovery as does exercising and keeping fit.

Good luck, Ragrug. My 83 year old trumpeter friend had a lobectomy last year to remove an asbestos related tumour and is back playing his trumpet in our band. Hope all goes as well for you too. All the best.
