Guest Narda99 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I visit this board every day as I await my appointment with the lung doctor in two weeks to see what she will do about the nodules in my lungs. I do have a question for all of you. Could you please list some of the symptoms that you experienced before you were diagnosed? Thank you.

dadstimeon Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I had blood in my urine, shortness of breath, skin turned yellow and flu like symptom's. Ended up with three problems--very low platelets, had to have a stent in my left main artery and then deal with the lung cancer. Given the slow rate of BAC, which is what I have and the late stage more likely for me they were there for years. I know it's hard but best to wait and find out all the facts. I'm in Massachusetts also if you need someone to talk to, feel free to PM me anytime. Hope this helps. PS: Nodules does not mean one has lung cancer.

joanie55 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 My only symptom was that my back hurt. I thought I pulled something. Eventually after seeing numerous doctors, they finally did an MRI and it was found. Quite a shock. Good luck and try to get some rest. You may have nodules without having lung cancer. Hopefully that's the case. Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I didn't have any symptoms. But, please take a look at the top of the General Forum Page where we have a NODULE CLUB! Many people have nodules and that doesn't mean they have lung cancer. Let us know how it goes, but please go read the posts in the NODULE THREADS!

Snowflake Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Absolutely no symptoms here and no at-risk behaviors. Just happened to have a good ol' case of pneumonia... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 My wife experienced loss of function in her left hand and then had tingling and pain in her left hand and arm. It was due to a main met on her spine. Her lung x-ray was actually clear. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francesbean Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 my dad's only symptom was chest pain. Good luck, Frances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 No symptoms, pneumonia caused shortness of breath and pain for one day before diagnosis. Take a deep breath, as Connie said nodules don't always mean something bad. Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Narda99 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks to all of you for answering my question. I am a non-smoker who is just recovering from pneumonia. The nodules were found on the x-rays and follow-up CT scan. Nearly 10 years ago I had DCIS breast cancer, non-invasive, Stage 0, nodes all negative. My yearly chest x-rays have always been clean (last one in July of 2005). I can certainly relate to those caregivers here because I lost my first husband to colon cancer when my son was only 10 years old. It was the worst experience of my life. Bless all of you here in this forum. You all are in my prayers.
