My husband is 65 yo, after liver transplant 1.5 years ago. He was complaining about chest pain for some time, has cough with phlegm (clear) shoulder and back pain - his MD would always say that it is all normal, due to his transplant etc or like chest pains would treat with some medication.
But finally he had a CT done 2 weeks ago, and they found "2.6 x 2.1 cm spiculated lesion in the right lower lobe abutting the right hemidiaphragm. The morphology of the lesion is suspicious for primary lung carcinoma". This is what it is in a report.
We went to see a doctor and he gave us 3 options: 1.wait and observe, 2. biopsy, 3. remove it. We decided to have a biopsy done.
I am trying to be positive but I am not coping with this well. Could it be something from the surgery(liver transplant, 2 recent hernia surgeries) like scar tissue or fluid? Can you tell by looking at the CT? Because the doctor said that he couldn't tell. Can it be a scar tissue? What about the morphology results? Is it accurate?
What do you think??
