Results of lung scan after yearly monitoring

Dont know what to say.you have been through so much and deserve a break from it all.

Fingers crossed the nodules are like some I have which havent grown and it was decided I had always had them.

Release all you want on here.you have been so lovely and understanding with everyone else,its your turn to get some good wishes back

Thinking of you

Kath

Thank you so much Kath.

I don’t want to tell my family I just want to survive Christmas.

Bet the appointment comes Christmas Eve.
Ha ha Happy  CCChristmas

Im feeling extremely sorry for myself. I need a break. 
My poor bridesmaid from years ago is in hospital with a stroke with MS. so in the outward thinking part of my world I’m lucky. 
But I still feel very disappointed and a lot of self pity going on here too.

Which is not like me! 

Take care 

Did you have to see a lung specialist Kath and have a bronchoscopy?

Im not sure I want cameras on the inside anymore.

Think I’d rather have a camera in St Ives with my hubby? 

Aww Artsie!  So sorry to hear that. You have so much going on between yourself and your dear husband. Katz51 is right you are one of the ones here always giving out encouragement and good wishes to others and now It's your turn to get it back. I wish you well in whatever decisions you make on this. cancer doesn't care who, when or where it hits. God Bless you Artsie. Take Care.

No  I didnt see a specialist .mine showed up on a scan then looked the same on the following scan.so they decided they were just me.

I was hoping for similar for you

Hi! A lot of people have benign lung nodules and never know about it. Three years after my bowel surgery, a routine CT scan last July revealed 3 nodules in the lungs. The colorectal surgeon was pretty sure they were metastases but the lung specialist was sceptical. Anyway, a biopsy last September confirmed recurrent disease and I am now back on chemo. Needless to say that the diagnosis came as a shock as I was feeling fit and healthy again and now my life is upside down again, juggling treatment, work and kids...

Really hope those nodules turn out to be benign, but the waiting time is always difficult and it's OK to feel angry or sorry for yourself.

Take care,

Cecile

Thanks Kath I was too. 
But I  had a feeling it wouldn’t turn out that way. 

I had letter today posted 6th saying that the nodules looked same but he and the radiologist think I need to be referred to a lung specialist.
The letter took six days to get here so I hope the appointment isn’t fast as it may arrive too late 

So I’m of a mind that there’s something amiss 

I’m going to try and forget it. My son may be coming for five days then my brother is here all over Christmas so I will have to box this away for a while.

Thanks Cecile  

Im so sorry you’re on chemo again I would of thought once is enough for anyone  I hope you coping okay with it  This cold weather is not the best for hospital visits 

I am really angry and extremely fed up  

I need to book something nice to do.

Trouble is my bowel is over the place since the blocking so that’s out of the question. 

As you can tell in now the Grinch this Christmas. 

bah humbug! 

Sending you a hug Cecile x

Oh Ann, it must seem never ending. I hope you can try to contain that worry in its box while your family are visiting so that you can all enjoy your time together, but it’s a real challenge for you. You’re always a lovely positive and funny force in this group, but you will have days of feeling grumpy and fed up like anyone does, and that’s ok. We’re all here for that in addition to the good stuff.

Sending you a big soft hug and love.

Hi Ann

I'm sorry to hear your news. You may have seen my posts re. Lung Nodules in the past, so excuse me if I'm repeating myself. However, after a successful left Hemicolectomy back in May '19, (which apparently didn't warrant adjuvant chemo.) one of my follow up CT scans, in Feb. '20, showed two small lung nodules in one lobe - which showed as suspicious. Following this, I had a Pet Scan, which confirmed them as Mets. from the Bowel Cancer.

I then had to undergo chemo Tabs, for 6 mths (but tolerated 5 mths.) which fortunately showed shrinkage in both. Then in Oct. '20, I had a Lung Ablation - which was a non surgical, & very easy procedure. It is only carried out in certain UK hospitals. I had to travel two hours to my nearest.

All my scans have been clear since then. However, I am due a follow up one this coming weekend - which is always a worrying time.

However, when you meet your lung specialist, perhaps you can ask him/ her about the possibility of this procedure. It will be dependent on the amount/ size, position & depth of the nodule.

But, it's too early for you to be reading into anything at this stage - as hopefully, the nodules may just be benign ones - that a lot of people have anyway.

Wishing you all the very best.
