Hello everyone. What a scary couple of days. My husband is 34 and we have 2 kids. Went for a heart CT scan a month ago which incidentally found multiple nodules in both lungs. He had the CT scan done two days ago and I’m petrified because the report sounds very scary! Multiple nodules, the largest is 1.6 and spiculated, suspected metastasis but no primary location other than the 1 spiculated. Enlarged lymph nodes were also found. Waiting on seeing a specialist but we presented to ED as my husband is freaking out. We saw an ED doctor who called a a lung and sleep specialist who reviewed the report and imaging and said, perhaps Sarcoidosis? But unsure until we see someone further. General bloods were all in range including inflammatory marker etc (this is what ED doc said) He has no other symptoms. Hoping for some reassurance and support. Thanks so much

Hello everyone. What a scary couple of days. My husband is 34 and we have 2 kids. Went for a heart CT scan a month ago which incidentally found multiple nodules in both lungs. He had the CT scan done two days ago and I’m petrified because the report sounds very scary! Multiple nodules, one 1.6cm triangular spiculated, suspected metastasis but no primary location other than the 1 spiculated. Enlarged lymph nodes were also found. Saw a lung specialist who mentioned perhaps Sarcoidosis, but we can’t rule that out until we do a biopsy of one of the swollen nodes. He felt some other swollen nodes in his neck too. General bloods were all in range. He has no other symptoms. Hoping for some reassurance and support. I’m really scared of the worst! Thanks so much

I hope you do not mind this question because you all are dealing with so much more. I recently had a CT coronary artery calcium score done. (for no reason but precaution) The score was a zero which is great HOWEVER during the test they found 3 mm subplueral nodule in left mid lung. another is a 4mm in the right middle lobe... (not even sure what this means, do the locations mean anything? the fact that there is 2??) So I went to my general Dr. (actually doctor assistant) she is sending me for another CT scan...I'm guessing they will say to redo scan in 6 months..My question is should I be seeing another type of doctor? I am freaking out a bit (I know they are small) but my father died THIS WEEK of lung cancer. (he was a smoker in the past) I have Never smoked but was exposed as a child...I have had a cough but have been thinking its allergies...what type of cough is associated with lung cancer? ANy tips or advice appreciated and prayers for you all...
