Hi - I am new to the Community, I have not had a proper diagnosis yet but I do have a lung nodule in my right lung, a normal CT Scan has shown no other abnormalities but the consultant I saw last week wants me to have a more in-depth scan to determine whether this is a secondary tumour and do I possibly have another one somewhere else in my body. I do not feel ill, apart from a cough that I had checked out and the nodule was found. I do not have any other symptons that would make me suspect something else is wrong. I am obviously very anxious and confused. Any help or ideas welcome.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am always sorry to see folks finding us and so sorry to hear about your on going uncertainty.
Until all the tests are done it is all a guessing game and it’s never good to jump to conclusions.
Talking with other people who have been on the same type of journey helps a lot.
