My Brother was hospitalised with pneumonia a few weeks ago and during a routine scan they found a mass in his lung. At the the mass could not be seen clearly due to the amount of inflammation, fluid and gunk from the infection. Released on antibiotics and a follow up bronchoscopy which he didn’t get to because he had a seizure which landed him back in hospital. Another scan revealed a brain tumour.   Here is where everything gets scary and down right confusing. My anxiety is at a level that is hard to control.   We we are being told something about small cells and large cells. What is in the lung will be in the brain tumour. Small cells mean there is treatments and large cells mean he will have one hell of a fight on his hands. I read otherwise and see that small cells are potentially more lethal.   Bronchoscopy is today to see if cells can be located via the throat before going straight to puncturing the lungs to get the biopsy. Then a pet scan to ensure tumours aren’t in any other organs.   What are are we dealing with here? Is there any chance this is curable? Whether it be small or non small? Are we going to be told he has a certain amount of time left with us? I am so frightened. Thabks in advance for any replies.   ... View more
