Is it lung Cancer?

Posted by darlenecaywood164 @darlenecaywood164, Jun 25, 2023

I did blood work to check my liver function and cbc and results came back showing signs of lung disease within a week had XRay and CT scan no contrast that shows innumerable nodules and enlarged lymph nodes and a mass so now have to have a pet scan to see what's going on? Dr. Wrote either infection or malignancy on my CT scan results? What does this all mean, my anxiety is through the roof, I want to talk and get answers, so stressed. If it is lung cancer can you work while doing treatment?

LOL on the auto correct. Thanks.

My pulmonologist swears the thoracic surgeon is a reputable whiz trained at MD Anderson in robotics and I really trust her. She was is so caring and thoughtful.

You were smart to get those opinions. I don't think I have time, but I will size it all up carefully, yes. Interesting how the surgery works, thanks. I meet with a female lung oncologist tomorrow, and I will have my list of questions on everything from Ketruda to DNA testing,

I am "spring" cleaning my house today to get ready for surgery to keep me focused on recovery. I'm in the dog days of summer in South Texas, where we hide inside from the 100+ degrees and get cabin fever .

Many thanks.
