Hi all,
Not sure anyone will be able to help with this but thought it was worth a shot.
Over two years post throat cancer without problem but recently needed a chest x ray for a damaged muscle problem. That x ray showed up a shadow on my right upper lobe.
About to get a CT scan but in the mean time does anyone have experience with the speed that a tumour might develop? Just over two years ago i had a Pet scan which showed nothing, This has been checked again and nothing there.
Can tumour actually grow from nothing to being able to picked up on a standard chest x ray in two years?
Thanks all
Hi viking30, sorry you find yourself here after having throat cancer. I had a ct scan 1 year before my lung cancer was diagnosed by an X-ray, so yes unfortunately it can happen that way. I hope you don’t have to wait too long for the ct scan so you can get the answer as to what is going on.
Take care
