Mum finally diagnosed, trying to be positive

[MissyD1]

Hello all, so after nearly 3 months of tests and scans my mum has been diagnosed with NSCLC (Adenocarcinoma) in her right lung and she is due to have a second biopsy on her left lung this week as the consultant suspects that she has another very small primary lung cancer in her left lung (this showed on the pet scan but not on the chest X-ray or ct scan) She has been told that she will have surgery to remove the tumour in her right lung and radiotherapy on the left side. The consultant mentioned in the letter to her GP that taking her general health into consideration along with the stage they are looking at cure. It is a relief to finally have a diagnosis and it appears to be early stage but I can't help feeling very anxious and worried 😐

MissyD1,

How exciting for your mom, that her doctors are treating her with curative intent! I'm sending best hopes that she gets through surgery and radiation well, and recovers from treatment quickly. Encourage her to stay as active as possible, it will help.
