I went for a pulmonary test a few weeks ago and a doctor saw me while I was there, he asked how I was feeling after finishing chemo I said I would feel better when I got the results of my PET scan when I see the oncologist in 2 weeks time, he said he could tell me the results then if I wanted, they were not what I was expecting, the right side were I had the lobectomy he said looked fine, but the small tumor in my left lung had actually grown and he said it was active, so instead of me waiting 2 weeks to hear this again he said he would set the ball rolling now, he said I would be discussed at the MDT meeting on the following Thursday, an appointment was made for me on the Friday to have a lung function test and an heart echo gram on the same day and the following Monday I received an appointment to see the thoracic surgeon this coming Monday 3rd August,everything has happened so quickly I don't know what to think, they certainly haven't wasted any time just now worried what the surgeon might tell me, I just feel at the moment that going through chemo was a waste of time while still trying to think positive.
best wishes to you all

Sorry to hear your scan wasn't good. I would also feel chemo was a waste.
Did it do anything for you? Can they operate on it? I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better.😊 As everyone always says.....
Think positive... There are a couple people on here, that have some pretty inspiring stories. Well worth rereading.
I'm sure they'll come up with a plan for you. Maybe radiation?
Let us know how you make out.😊

Thanks Ruby, I am hoping they will offer me surgery, I think it all depends on how fit I am and the results of lung function and heart scan, I am still on iron tablets and magnesium since chemo, it messed my bloods up, I will let you know how things go with the surgeon tomorrow.
take care
