lung cancer rt upper lobe

Posted by catdoris @catdoris, Aug 3 9:07am

I am a 77yr old female. I had a ct scan of the lungs and it showed a 5cm mass in upper rt lobe. I am set up for a pet scan and biopsy of the mass. If it is cancer is there hope for me?

@cglover47 I had my pet scan and it is showing as a cancer, I do not know yet if it has spread. I am scheduled to have a bronoscopy August 26 and that will be the tale of the tape. I am very anxious. Hope to get at least 10yrs of life left. Happy to hear you are well. Prayers for all.

Hello @catdoris ,
I’m sorry you received this news. Like mamajite said, sounds like your care team is on top of everything!
It’s a scary time for you, I tried to think positive as much as I could, it helped ease the stress. Prayers too, I’ll keep you in mine.

When I was diagnosed with melanoma on the lung, I found keeping busy and for me it was volunteer work, eating more healthy, being positive and spiritually active helped me to be at peace with surgery.

@cglover47 I do agree with all of that, but today I feel very down in a rabbit hole. I will work on everything you suggested and thank you for your support,
