So he did...negative result again.
This went on for months and months not knowing if he was going to live or die.
All I can advise is don't think it's the end of the world, or even cancer until you get some definitive pathology results.
The medical system put my uncle through hell last year.
He's fighting fit again now and does not have lung cancer.
I lost my mum 2 months ago to alzheimers.
All you can do is be there for them...it's hard to watch, but I'm just thankful I could be there and forever thankful she was my mum!
