Well guys, I've had my appointment today at the head and neck cancer clinic.I do not have head & neck cancer on my lungs I have lung cancer of various types in miniscule sizes that are causing me no problems at the moment. I will have 3 monthly ct scan 2 see if they grow if not have anything done, if they grow ill b offered treatment. I feel I've been given my life back, but angry by other clinics telling g me different scenario's.

That is good news and I’m sure you will be well monitored going forward.

Thank you for the update and am sure this is a mixture of relief and frustration, as you have been put through all the worry and anxiety.

It is encouraging that they will observe and monitor and no need for any intervention at this stage. They may be too small to even biopsy which is often the case and can lay dormant for quite awhile.

This must be a huge relief and you can start to enjoy life again and make plans. Be good to yourself and we are here if you need to chat anytime: our free phone nurse led helpline number on 0800 358 7200 Monday to Thursday 0900-1700 and Friday 0900-1600, alternatively you can email us at lungcancerhelp@roycastle.org

All the very best
