Why Is There A Cyst In The Lungs With Pus In It?
Hello
My sister at the age of 57 was diagnosed with eshogial cancer 2 years ago.....cleared and good to go untill a spot on her lung which was dealt with, again cleared and good to go.
Last week she had left side numbness and drool coming from her mouth uncontroolably.....ambulance came , she had a 33 sec convulsions and when they did a ct scan , found one stem with 2 cancer tumours.
Dr Sutherland performed surgury on her last night for 5 hoours....when he got in , he saw a lot of puss and then he sucked it up and the tumour wall collapsed ....there was one bit that attached itself to the blood vessel which the doctor left because it would cause her to have a stroke......finally my question....why the puss and what are your thoughts?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have esophageal cancer metastasis. It causes this kind of lesion. If it undergoes necrotic changes then it looks like pus filled lesion. You need surgery and chemotherapy. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
