Lung biopsy came back - no cancer! They think it’s sarcoidosis

Hi @Marilyn Raven It’s 1.6cm

Thanks for everyone’s responses. It’s nice to feel the support here. Update: Biopsy done yesterday. The doc said they had a quick look under a scope and couldn’t see any cancer cells… is this reassuring? Not sure how accurate that is. Hubby spoke with the lung specialist who said the lymph nodes did light up on the PET. She also mentioned something about seeing granulomas in the lymph nodes?? Hoping I interpreted the conversation right

Thanks for responding. I’m hoping for a positive outcome and was hoping just maybe others here may have similar stories with positive outcomes

Sorry to hear you’re going through something similar. Very scary times indeed

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

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
