Discovered cancer spot on my lung after covid-19

I had difficulty breathing too. The biopsy on my lung was negative but the PET scan said the nodule on my lung was cancerous. My surgeon believed the PET scan. I had the nodule removed and it was a stage 1 cancer. I am so grateful my surgeon removed the cancer. I am slowly healing but having difficulty with pain in my abdomen from the robotic procedure. I am 8 weeks out.

Welcome to Mayo Connect Claudia, @claudiaharlan12. That's great that you and your surgeon listened to his/her intuition. We depend on the results of these tests, like the biopsy. Your case is a good reminder that things aren't always straight forward. I hope you continue to heal. Give your body the time it needs, as it sounds like you've come a long way already.

I also have SOB and am a smoker for too many years. My SOB started when I contracted the Covid roughly two years ago, that's how they found my cancer spot on the right lung. The surgeon recommended surgery, but the Radiation specialist said he could stop it with one treatment...He was correct, three months later my CT Scan was clear with no side effects. I hope you get thru this healing process very quickly and always remember, You Are In My PRAYERS. May GOD watch over you.
