My poor Mum has had a scan where they found lots of nodules/things on her lungs and liver. Now lots of her symptoms match Sarcoidosis but she has been referred for biopsies. The thing that has frightened her most is that the respiratory consultant said as she left that he probably should give her the card with McMillan phone numbers on. Also he said that he was looking for an underlying cause. Given the biopsy is still more than a week away and the results appointment more than a week later she is already incredibly fearful.
Honestly, should she be reading a high likelihood of cancer into this? I wasn't but her fear is worrying.
Also she and Dad are of a generation that don't ask questions and won't let me. So I turn to you please.
