Lung cancer

Hello 

Hope everyone is feeling as well as they can be.

My dad has just been diagnosed with lung cancer. It is in one part of his lung and lymph node.

The results of the biopsy took two weeks to come back and now they have sent it away again to test to see which is the best drug to use. This will also take two weeks.

Is this normal?

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Fayet although I'm sorry about your dad's diagnosis.

    Your dad's medical team are in the best position to answer this and any other questions that may be playing on your mind at the moment so if you have your dad's permission do be sure to get in touch with them to discuss this.

    We have some general information about lung cancer on our website but you're more than welcome to give our cancer nurses a call if you'd like to have a chat with them about this as well. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.
