Hi @aoifet - I can understand not wanting to alarm your sister before your biopsy. I also didn't want to worry my extended family before I had a definite diagnosis. I think one of the hard things about having anything suspicious show up on imaging is the uncertainty. For me, finally knowing one way or the other was less anxiety provoking, if that makes sense. I'm glad that you were doing your monitoring CT scans so that the nodule was caught sooner than later. That's so important, but also takes some courage, so well done.

Thanks, I am definitely a person that wants to plan, but this world in general is full of uncertainties. The anxiety and fear are both there, and will stick around after any kind of diagnosis, also. I just imagine it will be rooted in something other than simply not knowing yet.
I do look at the positives and find gratitude, including doing the early LDCT. Reading the positives that are shared in a forum such as this helps also, when I feel I have so few other positives at this moment. So thank you all for sharing.
