Just had four days in hospital, 2.7L of fluid drained off my left lung + procedure to minimise it returning. The biopsy of the fluid identified as Adenocarcinoma, so I don’t need a biopsy, expecting an appointment with medical oncology next week (fingers crossed). I am a number of days ahead of where I expected to be. So, ending up in hospital was a positive outcome with regards my ongoing treatment it is brought it forward at least 10 days.

The anxiety is definitely high. I have had my PET scan, now waiting for the next step, which I assume is a biopsy, I just hope I have had all the required tests before my appointment. I hope you are recovering well and you have some certainty with your treatment plan.

Thanks for the advice. I have had my PET scan three days ago, now waiting for the next step, which I assume will be a biopsy. I am just hoping that I have had all the required tests before my appointment on 30/10. Good luck with your prognosis and treatment.

I have just been diagnosed with lung cancer. I have not had a biopsy yet so don't know the type. My appointment to see a specialist is not until 31/10/2025, this seems a long time and I am worried the cancer could spread elsewhere and my shortness of breath seems to be getting worse. I didn't notice any symptons until the 20/09/2025 when I was extremely short of breath on a bike ride, then a cough developed and hey presto you have got lung cancer. Is this a normal scenario? Any reassurance re timelines. Any advice appreciated.
