Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
New finding on CT scan: bronchovascular consolidation and groundglass nodules the medial segment right middle lobe (lung) and anterior segment of upper lobe. 8 years cancer free from Stage IV prostate cancer with lymph node positive and outside spread of gland on one side. Chemo, Radiation and hormone therapy completed 8 years ago.
Your CT scan report needs to be evaluated in light of recent signs and symptoms....like any complain of fever, chest pain or breathlessness. These changes are most likely due to infection such as pneumonia. I wouls strongly recommend you contact your local physician for further management. If I were your treating physician I would advise Bronchoscopy to get a fluid sample for the assesment of the nature of the disease.
I hope this answers your query. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns. Wishing you good health.
