Multiple Lung Nodules elevated D-Dimer: How do I stay calm?

Hi Lisa, what size is your largest nodule? That is very important! I also have several lung nodules in both lungs. Any size over 5mm CAN be cancer. You are very wise to get a couple of opinions and carefully watch for growth. At UCLA I insisted on a biopsy of a left lung small nodule and it was cancer. That also meant that the nodule on the right lung, same size, was most likely cancer too.

I have learned to be my own doctor, get several opinions and be aggressive! I have been Stage 4 since 2020 and still kicking 😊

Lisa, what size are your nodules?

Blessings 🙏🏻

Hi Janna, @jannam, I'm not sure if your comment was meant for me, or for @liz77. My nodules and lymph nodes have all been biopsied, I agree that the pathology of the nodule is important when determining if it is cancer and when determining what treatments may be most effective.
It's nice to hear that you are doing well. I was also diagnosed stage 4 in 2020, and I'm still here!
