I posted a while back "very concerned about my dad". At the time we had been told that as they couldn't find anything with the Bronchoscopy, my Dad go home and stop worrying. We thought everything was fine.

However it now appears that my Dad has lung cancer. He had a CT scan 2 weeks ago and when the results came back they said the spot needed further investagation. We have been told by 3 different doctors that the spot was 4cm, then 2 cm and now 5 cm, so we don't know which one is quite right.

He had a CT assisted needle biopsy on Friday and the doctor said that indications look like the tissue is malignant though it appears operable as it is on the lung and not in it. The very worrying part for me is that they mentioned tiny spots on his lymph nodes, thought the doctor felt could be scar tissue for a Heart Bypass operation he had in May 05.

We are waiting for results, and then we will know about stages and treatements etc. In the meantime my Dad is becming increasingly depressed.

I was really just wondering if there was anyone else who was going through a similar experience.
