Did anyone have a missed diagnosis of NSCLC?

No, I have been lucky so far. Only had that nodule and one small 4mm one in my right upper lung that has never changed. I have my 2nd 6 month scan on March 29th and a praying that all stays well! They took out a segment instead of an entire lobe and said “clear margins and no lymph nodes involved”. I did not have a biopsy before hand. It was confirmed after it was removed and it was tested and confirmed to be Adenocarcinoma. No chemo, radiation or immunotherapy needed. I did have a bronchoscopy and a PET scan. Nothing else “lit up”. Even the nodule itself barely lit. Again, I feel very lucky that it was caught early.

Mine didn't light up on pet either. I was so relieved at that point I wanted to hug the doctor but it was in the middle of covid. I'm wondering why tgey wan to do a biopsy on me. Might as well just get it out and test it then. I'm not a doctor though. Hopefully things will be clear for me as well. Nothing has been seen anywhere else in my lungs. Just the lower right lobe. I hope your future scans come back clear. Thank you for the time you've taken to respond it helps me keep calmer.

Honestly as soon as the Pulmonologist compared the two CT scans he said he knew it was cancer and we should get it out. I agreed! Didn't want the “watching”. I didn't want it to grow or spread.
