@blessed08 Hello....not trying to be alarming, but my Wife's lung nodules were small...too small to treat or be concerned about...for quite awhile. I believe there were 3 initially shown on CT. They grew slowly however, and were monitored until they enlarged to a size that could be biopsied. She was still NED. By that time there were a number of nodules in different locations. Sarcoma was found in a biopsied nodule, so she started on Votrient. The nodules were "too many" by then to treat other ways. There were no symptoms leading up to the biopsy. We were told prior that the nodules were too small to treat, and they should just be monitored on regular scans. Her experience with Votrient has been good in that it has slowed/stopped nodule growth. That said, each person is unique, and will have their own course and results. If you're fortunate and the nodule you have stays single, you might be able to have it ablated, radiated or surgically removed at the appropriate size. Hope this info helps. Wishing you continued NED!!

Hello again, thanks for your prompt response. I'm glad to hear that the
Votrient is working for your wife. How long will she have to take it, and
is she going to a sarcoma clinic? This is such an uncommon form of cancer,
and not too many studies have been done about it to even know what causes
it. Also, it's rare to find other people who have been diagnosed with it.
My next scan is in June, and I pray and hope that I will continue to be NED.
Please give my regards to your wife, I wish her well.

Take care!
