My mom has had her 1 year check up for bowel cancer.  The nurse said that her bloods are better  but they did point out she had a nodule on her lung which they said appears to be Benin should I worry? The nurse seems to think its nothing to worry about

  • It is very common to have benign nodules on the lungs . They only become concerned if they continue to grow . There is also lots of options for removing them to investigate if ever needed so I definitely would think it’s premature to start worrying just now .

    All the very best to you and your mum .

  • A nodule was apparently picked up on Jay (my husband's) lung but they haven't said much else about it. It all seems to be around his `nether regions` they're more concerned about just now. 

  • Do they think it's Benin or has grown?

  • Hi there. 

    Nodules are extremely common and they will keep a check on it if needed. They call back for Chest CTS if needed then consults 
    That’s the amazing thing when they monitor their patients they can check if there’s any changes. Many people here that have had bowel cancer have nodules on the lungs that show up

    I don’t think PattyK s husband Jay has any issues with his lungs   

    Please don’t worry
