@maroa , I'm sorry to hear that this follow-up CT didn't show better results. Your feelings are valid, it's always scary to receive results like these, but especially for you having seen your mother pass away from lung cancer. Treatments have come a long way since your mother's time with this disease. We are living longer and longer due to new treatments and there are new ways to address the side effects of treatment too. The new nodules on the CT scan don't mean that this is cancer for sure. There is still hope that this is something else; infection, fungal, inflammation.
Do you have a doctor appointment scheduled to discuss the findings yet? Are they talking about another scan after X number of months or doing a biopsy?
