I just had a surgical biopsy and lung resection in December. I had a new nodule in my upper left lobe that was 1.1 cm. Biopsy was negative for cancer but that is how I was diagnosed with MAI. I was also very nervous about it, especially since my mom and maternal grandfather died of lung cancer. Worrying doesn't do anything. My way to deal with it was to tell EVERYONE what was happening, that way I had A LOT of people praying for me and sending positive energy. There are a lot of people on this forum who will be doing the same for you. Gina K

First I want to say, You have a beautiful
smile! Breath deep and imaginevyou are blowing away those fears as you begin to
help your lung issue be blown away!
Take time out for "you" & tell your nervous system to be calm and help you heal... this is whatbI had to learn after I had lung cancer with a 3cm tumor, ground glass
pulmonary fibrosis and a nodule!
That was 9 years and 3 months ago... And to boot, I never smoked! So,with most of my left lung gone, I decided to live! Live one moment and one hour and one day with gratefulness. Then it dawned on me,
life is great because I choose to stop trying to be in control ! Lung cancer became my blessing, i ran a 5k race in 50 states in celebration of my 5?years of survival... a 10knin 4 continents and Insumired Kilimanjaro in August 2016!
Get a second opinion with a team of doctors who support you! Know you are not alone!!!
so let's stay Connected! You are braver than you realize because you had. outage to share your honest fears! I want you on my team! You deserve a big hug!
