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

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

Hi @Marilyn Raven It’s 1.6cm

Hi Aussie here,
I see you live in Victoria so you have one of the best specialist cancer centres in AUS, I can understand your anxiety it's very difficult to wait, however I am sure you will be referred to a specialist centre quite quickly, I live in a regional area in NSW and have to travel to Canberra to see my oncologist, is the nodule 1,6mm or Ctm, because that will make a difference as to how quickly they make a referral, he has had a CT scan so most probably a PET will be next, it's hard to remain calm but we have excellent treatment options here. Perhaps you can contact your GP or whoever ordered the heart scan to ask about the specialist appointment, wishing you all the best, may all be well.

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
