Report on CT Scan from "Very Worried"

[Guest Narda99]

I want to thank those who replied to my previous post. I just received the report from my doctor today. It seems that they want to wait 6 months and do another scan. I have an appointment on Friday and will find out more details. In the meantime, my doctor will consult with my oncologist about this to get his input. I am still extremely worried as I can't imagine waiting six months. This past week has been so stressful. I really need some emotional support. You all are so compassionate, and anything you offer will be greatly appreciated. God Bless all of you!

I don't want to frighten you or upset you more than you are, but knowing what I now know I would obtain a copy of the report for myself before my appointment on Friday, and read it for myself. And I would then push my Docs for more information. The fact of the matter is women who are treated for breast cancer are at a higher risk for developing secondary cancers, including Lung Cancer. And frankly, there are a lot of us who have a type of Lung Cancer called Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma (AKA BAC)or Adenocarcinoma with Bronchioloalveolar Features (AKA ADC with BAC)who are either diagnosed with BAC after a diagnosis of Breast Cancer and sometimes before we are diagnosed with a separate Breast Cancer.

You don't get many chances for an early stage diagnosis. Push to make certain that you get the CORRECT diagnosis. And if it proves to be negative, I will personally celebrate your Great News. And while you are doing all of this always bear it in mind that most lung spots are really NOT cancer. I know...easier said than done.

Wishing you well...and I do mean WELL.

And, I would want another ct scan in 3 months.
