Hi All
I so need some support and guidance. I recently had a CT scan as part of a targeted screening programme.
They have written to me with the news that no lung cancer was detected but theyve found signs of emphysema.
That was the extent of the information. They said they would be writing to my GP who will be in touch in a few months.
Im absolutely devastated and have been in a really depressed state since i found out with no support.
Is this common to inform someone with such horrible news in writing? The link given in the letter takes me to the a website that gives a life expectancy of 5 years. Having found this forum, i'm now more hopeful but still in shock at the way this news was delivered.
