Good afternoon,
Not sure were to start. However; back in 2008 apparently, I had a chest X-ray that revealed a Mass on my lung so I went in the following day for a CT scan. Which showed, I had a pericardial cyst. ( Completely benign) with that being said I followed up with the respirologist and all was great. I was 38 at the time (Female X Smoker). Later in life approx. 2013 of summer my lymphoma that was on my back grew from the size of a golf ball to 9cm. Surgeon ordered a MRI to view the Lymphoma before removal and noticed that I had a left lung nodule. With that being said, I found out later that the lung nodule was there in 2008 but no one had mentioned it. I believe, at the time it was 7X5mm and had grown to 7X8 or 7X6 approx. 2mm. I had another CT scan done in 2013 and it had showed minimal growth. Radiologist said looks benign however; if patient wants repeat CT in 12 Months which is what I chose to do. My Dr, did not see the importance of it. I still went. Ct showed it had grown approx. 2mm but it could be a measuring error? So then I went to see a resporologist and she did not seem worried said it was small well rounded however; not calcified so she can not be 100%. She then decided to get a second opinion and now it could be irregular cells or low grade cancer. Now I have gone from its nothing to now we need to do another CT with Die as its small to do a Biopsy. I am beside myself and scared. How can this be happening to me. Your insight would be greatly appreciated. I am not sure I will get a positive result. I am so scared it has spread by now and that I will die. I am sorry, but I am really scared and Anxiety is high...........
