Hello Karen @karick , The stress and trauma that you've endured is more than anyone should have to bear. I hope you are getting help for the C-PTSD. The weight of this diagnosis is difficult on its own, but there is help available. Let those feelings out, cry when you need to. Just try not to stay in that low place for too long. Be honest with your doctors when they ask how you are doing. They can help with the emotional side of the diagnosis too.
It sounds like your cancer was identified at an early stage, which your future PET scan will help to confirm. It's normal to have all of the tests prior to determining the treatment plan. It's not easy to wait for appointments, but each scan or test helps fill in the clues to your story, and ultimately your specialized treatment plan. Are you working with a pulmonologist? They often drive the process in the beginning, and then they may pass you to another expert based on what these initial tests revel. Did you have a biopsy already?
