Sandra Bean Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 My name is Sandra. Told by GP I had a 2.3 cm nodule in upper right lung. This showed up in a CT scan. I am awaiting an appointment for a PET scan. I am an asthmatic and an 11 year breast cancer survivor! My world has been turned upside down. Thought I was done with cancer and I am praying I still am. But, I am very concerned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexieCat Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Hi, Sandra, I just had a lobectomy for a nodule on my lung (upper left lobe) that turned cancerous. I'm sorry you have to go through a SECOND battle with cancer. Keep your fingers crossed, though--the PET scan may be reassuring--it was in my case. The ONLY thing that lit up was the one bad nodule. I'm hopeful that the surgery will be IT for treatment, but will be meeting with an oncologist next week to discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Galli Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Sandra, Be concerned. A lung nodule can be a serious thing, or it may be nothing. Here is my go-to-easy-to-read resource on pulmonary lung nodules. No one should have to endure two cancer diagnosis but lung cancer is quite different from breast cancer in a number of important ways. While your start down the diagnostic trail, you might want to review this information to acquaint yourself with lung cancer nomenclature. Hopefully, the nodule will turn out to be of the harmless variety, but I believe knowledge is power and understanding mitigates fear. I truly hope the nodule turns into something not lung cancer. But if you've got questions about diagnostic testing and procedures, this is the place to ask. Welcome here! Stay the course.
