WENDOJACKO Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 Hi All, first let me say what a strong, caring and supportive group of people you are. I admire you all for your persistence and dedication to each other. I don't have lung cancer yet, but I am fearful that I do. I have had some strange symptoms, and had a CAT scan done, which was negative, but they only did it of my blood vessels in my chest/thorax area. My question is this, would my lungs show up on that CAT Scan or do the blood vessels only show up? I had dye injected and they used the Spiral CT. I am so worried, and wanted to ask you for your opinion. I know I have not been diagnosed, but I hope you can provide me some information please!!!!! My parents are both cancer survivors and so I am at risk. I am also a smoker. Thank you for helping me if you can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimblanchard Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 I feel sure that with a spiral CT of your chest your lungs did show up. I would definitely ask my doctor though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyB Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 Wendy, Cancer would probably show up on a Spiral CT, but to know for sure, ask your doctor! Now, don't take this as preaching. Please stop smoking. Boy, you just do not want to go thru this!! I'm hoping you just got a little scare and that you are OK! (Even if you find out you don't have LC, you can still visit us here!)
