Lung nodules & scared!
March 1, 2017 at 7:44 pm
I had a Ct in December 2016,showed 3 nodules 6mm,5mm&4mm in right upper lobe! Last week I had a Ct bc of a different issue and ER Dr told me I had 1 nodule in my right upper lobe that was 8mm and subpleural and a tiny subleural nodule in my left lower lone and small scattered lymph nodes throughout the paratracheal region? What does this mean?Pulmononlogist called finally after a few weeks and finally radiology compared both Cts and was told I need Pet Scan which is next Tuesday. I feel frozen and numb! He said it was triangular in shape and something about right hiler? Gosh I can't even think. Advice please

@pattymac I'm also glad to hear that there is no cancer evident in the tests you have had. Please check with the doctor who performed the procedure to see if the voice problem is a typical reaction to the procedure. Take heart and stay strong. Teresa

3 ReactionsI was on my iPhone trying to post before and wonder if that's the issue.
The thoracic surgeon that did the two scopes at same time was concerned about this as well.He only said he could go back in and see if my vocal cords were injured?
Hi Pattymac: I did have a scope and lung cancer. I am so delighted that you do NoT have lung cancer. At the same time, I'm asking if time and rest will help your vocal cords ? and lots of warm tea? It
helped me. My husband jokingly said, It was a little more peaceful, since I'm a jabberbox! ha!
You deserve a big hug.

3 ReactionsNo at least I don't think so.I just did an at home sleep study and received a call from a medical supply company telling me my Dr ordered a cpap for me? I'm not sure how accurate that test was considering I cough a lot at night?

1 ReactionI made an appt with an ENT as the Pulmonologist suggested and referred me to to see about my voice.I missed my lung function test this morning for the second time because I have those two cutie grandaughters of mine again for two weeks.My son left for 30 days and my daughter-in-laws babysitter left on vacation so here we go again,lol.

3 Reactions@pattymac That is interesting. I've never heard of a home sleep study. Could you give a brief description of that? Teresa

1 Reaction@pattymac Thanks for the update. I'm glad that your vocal cords will be looked at. I've had a number of those scopes and they really aren't bad at all. It is the best way to determine how they are working - you certainly have my prayers for Friday as well as Thursday. Best wishes! Teresa
