hi,

my mother had an xray done and they found a mass in her lung. She had had a xray ack in augest and there wasnt anything there. The doctor said he is pretty sure it is cancer from looking at a ct scan and is making her an appt to see a dr about a biopsy.

My mom has heart failure and a heart disease. Im so upset because everything i have read about lung cancer doesnt bode well: if anyone has advice or suggestions so that i could understand a little better about what we are going to go through...

Update: Mom goes for a biopsy on monday. She has what ''appears to be'' a malignant tumor. they did a scan today to see if they could spot any other masses in her body. They said that they will probably have to remove part of her lung but have to check if her heart was stable enough to do that....

Removing a lobe of the lung is a positive option, it
