After coughing up a lot of phlegm in hospital whilst been treated for a leg ulcer which wouldn't heal. Two very junior doctors still doing their rotation, who I can't thank enough, they took it as a sample and sent me for a chest x ray that showed up 15 plus broken ribs which I had no knowledge of. They sent me for a ct scan which showed up more broken ribs and a nodule in the bottom of my right lung. Early January I had a biopsy, 5 days later I was told was cancer and I was able to have a VATS PROCEDURE at Guy's hospital off I went to have the operation on my birthday and when I came round my consultant said Happy Birthday you are cancer free. Off I went feeling incredibly lucky
5 days later I went down with a vomiting and diarrhoea bug. By the end of the week I was admitted to my local hospital whilst in there I was told that it was Atypical carcinoid and I was very lucky as it was very rare nothing more. After 3 weeks I was discharged 2 days later readmitted by ambulance with blues and two and was told about net's syndrome and I had it but again nothing more and discharged after 8 weeks.
I still have to take anti sickness tablets to eat and imodem I have lost 4 stone and more since the VATS PROCEDURE as well. Does anyone on here know more than what is written on cancer research websites. I know that they can spread because they don't use the lymph system so can possibly travel to another lobe or pancreas, liver which was checked, gastric tract.
Has anyone had this in the lung which is rare and even rarer to be atypical and can help me please . Sorry it is so long.
Mum diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer which has spread to pleura
Breast cancer radiation as a long term cause of primary lung cancer?
Is a shadow on the lung always cancer?
Mets to ribs and spine confirmed.
