@kllevinson Yes, for about a year now I have been coughing up Mucus plugs, some an inch wide. In the last 6 months it's gotten worse. I cough up these about 15-20 times per day. I have had to go to the ER twice and was admitted in December 2024 because I could not breathe. The doctors did a CT Scan back in August 2024 and all they found was a single Node in my right upper lobe that was 5mm. Fast forward to March 19th, 2025, they repeated the chest CT Scan and I had about 15 new nodes, including a 1cm spiculated node in my right upper lobe along with 4 others that were 4 and 5mm in both right and left upper lobes. Yesterday 5/16 the performed a Robotic assisted biopsy of two nodes in my right and left upper lobe that had lit up on a Pet scan 2 weeks ago. My doctors believe it's cancer and I'll have the results in 3 to 5 days. My suggestion for you is to follow up with Pulmonary. I hope you don't have the same results I do. This is my 3rd cancer in 4 years, but my 1st in my lungs. Good luck to you. If you're a believer, please pray and ask others to pray for you. That got me through my other cancers. God Bless You and I know it's scary.
