@ejjebdjeoe are you seeing a regular doctor or a pulmonologist? it sounds like they ordered the high res CT to check for fibrosis, which might be warranted. it's definitely worth discussing further with your doc.

I'm stage 1B technically - but I have a rare genetic mutation that makes it easy to develop lung cancer, so I have ~30 pulmonary nodules that have to be followed and treated as needed.

@mamajite I’ve seen a pulmologist, she referred me to an ent after seeing how red my throat was and said that none of her patients had iron deficiency, and definitely not a cause of the deficiency with the little amount of blood I was spitting, that the picture I showed her of my pink spit was not coming from my lungs, interesting because I was REFERRED to one after being denied a ct from my previous pcp only to get denied again by the lung dr of the ct lmao. So my gastroenterology appointment is coming up I’m gonna have to get scopes to see if there’s any ulcer or something else depleting my iron my mom has celiac disease anemia and asthma. With stage 1b how long is the chemo, immunotherapy? or do they remove some of the lung?
