cluck Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I forgot to say that I probably won't be able to help anyone with med. advice, but I hope I can be of support to someone out there somewhere. I would love to be in contact with someone who has also lost a sibling to cancer, or a father to emphysema. My dad died 1 year ago April 2 and I so miss him. cluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don M Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi Cluck. Welcome to this site. My brother died of lung cancer in 2000. In October of 2003, my PCP informed me that I had a "lung mass" that was still early stage. She said "somewhat must be watching out for you up there". I always fancied that it was my brother who nudged me to have the ct chest scan done. I had a scan done of my bladder the previous spring. The lower part of my lungs showed up in the image and a possible nodule or photo artifact was noted in my lower left lung. The radiologist and my PCP did not seem very concerned at the time. The radiologist suggested that I do a chest ct scan after a few months to make sure it was just an artifact. I was going to not do the followup, but decided to do it just to make sure. The following fall, I had a chest ct scan done. The ct scan showed a large mass in my upper left lobe. It turned out that the earlier scan had picked out a nodule, at my lower left lung, but it was found to be benign. The new structure found was a complete surprise.
