@Judy M2 Thanks for pointing that out!

I'm still getting used to the site, and can't find a way to reply to individual people who posted. Monica, yes, I had neuroendocrine lung cancer in 2008, was clear after treatment for just under 10 years and then during a routine CT scan in 2017 we found the nodule. It was biopsied and found to be malignant. I never got a cancer "type" from my oncologist, which I always thought was strange. They just told me it wasn't neuroendocrine cancer but a cancer that was probably from my smoking history (I quit in 2008). Mike, I have a friend who is seen at Stanford which has a great reputation and his doctor has offered to see me for a second opinion. Right now I'm just waiting to see what my June CT shows. Thanks again for everyone's replies. The worst thing to me about dealing with this is feeling like no one understands, but these posts remind me there are a lot of people who do.

My name is Doug. I'm new to the group and just wanted to introduce myself. I just turned 66, I'm currently dealing with the possibility of a lung cancer recurrence and the anxiety that comes with it. I was diagnosed with NSCLS lung cancer 3B in 2008 and underwent radiation and chemo with good results at UCSF. In 2017 we found a lung nodule that had grown and become malignant and radiated that pretty quickly with good results also. My latest CT in March shows growth in two nodules in one lung, and an enlarged nodule in the other lung but they are still considered "ground glass." My oncologist is telling me the growths may not be anything to be concerned about, but the scenario is kind of a repeat of what I went through in 2017. I have several lung nodules, but haven't seen growth in that many at one time before. My options for treatment are somewhat limited... due to extensive radiation my oncologist doesn't feel a lobectomy or complete lung removal is an option as he doesn't think I would survive it. My next CT is in June. I'm trying to keep busy (I'm retired, and have grown to hate it) to keep my mind off my health. I'm hoping I can meet other people here or hopefully attend a support group with others dealing with the same issues.
