Been to hospital today, got a bit of good news, my tumour has shrunk a little bit, but still going to need surgery, what i didnt want to hear was, they found minute nodules on my lungs, so that will be checked up after surgery, dont know when that will be, as im waiting for a call from the consultant, just another thing to start worrying about now, but hope its not too long to wait,,,,,,,

  • Hi 

    Good news on the shrinkage . Always a welcome sign .

    Lung nodules are  notorious for popping up and lots and lots of them turn out to be absolutely nothing .

    My mum had three . One was cancer and the other two were just nodules . One is 7 mm too and it just sit there and has done for years .

    Quite a lot of people get rescanned after three months and they have disappeared . Hopefully that will be the case for you . The scanning machines are so advanced now . When my mum got diagnosed initially they only picked up nodules of around 5 mm . Now it’s about 2 mm . Great for nipping things in the bud but throws up lots of false positives too!

    One step at a time and attend to the bowel and hopefully the lungs will be back to normal soon .

    Take care ,

    Thank-you Court,its always good to read your answers ,as we know your Mum has been through all of this, she is 1 strong Lady, and it gives hope to all of us to read the journey both of you have been on, its just the thought of 1 thing after another, makes you wonder what we have all done to be here, but yes we will all carry on ,its great to know we can turn to each other on here,and  hopefully finally get rid of this pest within us,  have a nice weekend x.

  • Hi nan nan, 

    Sorry to hear they have seen little nodules on lung, if it helps my 1st scan after my op I had little nodules which were secondary bowel mets but I just had them cut out 17th Jan this year. 

    Court is so knowledgeable and like court said not all her mums were cancer. 

    You hold on in there and good luck
