I am new to the forum.My mother has today been diagnosed with cancerous nodules on the lung. Further tests have to be carried out but it looks like they are secondaies. she has COPD so they cannot do a biopsy. She is 83 but otherwise OK. she cam in at the weekend with an infection on the lung which they said was pneumonia but have found these in the process. She seems to be taking it very well but I feel totally shocked and numb.
