Hello everyone.
For some days now I have been reading your message boards and been inspired by the success stories and saddened when things havent gone well with treatments.
A week ago I had a chest xray which showed a mass in the superior aspect of the left hilum in my lung.
Today I had a CT scan which according to the consultant is showing a possible adenosquamous carcinoma of 5cm x 3cm and which he states is unoperable due to its location. He also found a 3cm lesion in my liver.
I am booked in for a bronchoscopy next week as they want to know excactly what they are dealing with.
He says there is a small perhaps 5% chance that it could be something else, due to the fact that the mass had areas of calcification in it.
I am now extremely scared.
I would appreciate advice from anyone who has had a similiar diagnosis regarding the result of the CT scan.
Basically I would like to know if a CT scan and the interpretation of the radiologist is always correct or does it need a biopsy to give a definitive diagnosis ?.
Any realistic glimmer of hope would be appreciated.
Kind regards and very best wishes to all ,
Sue.
