1.7 mass on right lung: Any advice as I wait for a biopsy?
Went to the ER with chest discomfort. They ran all kind of test x ray CT scan. No heart issues but they did find a 1.7 cm mass on my right lung came I am now waiting for a biopsy. I have anxiety on a normal day but now it is off the charts. My mind will not stop going to the bad places. I am not sleeping. I need some advice on what to do.

@catdoris I am only sharing my own experience. I have no symptoms either. I went to the ER because I hurt my back and they took chest x-rays and that’s where they found the tumors. I did a biopsy of my lungs but the idiot collapse my lungs and I was really struggling for a while and then they found out it was Cancer. It took quite a while. I started in May and I didn’t get my diagnosis until June and then I had surgery in September because it was doubling in size every month I got my right upper and lower lobes removed and some lymph nodes have test size and I went through Kimo and now Tagrisso

1 Reactionthank you for all this helpful information and positive attitude. May I ask if you did have cancer, and what was the outcome?

2 ReactionsHey, I have just come from where you are. Mine is in the right lower lung, and it was 1.1 last time they checked. The biopsy is not painful, and I didn't have many aftereffects. Tomorrow, I go for the brain scan, which I'm scared to do. I have gone down the rabbit hole too many times to count now. I know how hard it is not to let your mind wander. I go off the charts daily. I've started with some meditation. Find people to talk to. Don't let it consume you. Says the pot to the kettle. This is a great group; stay with us.

2 ReactionsMy Dr's office just called & wants me to come in August 11th for a consult on what options I have with my spiculated 1.7 x 1 cm upper right lung nodule. His office did mention a resection. Now waiting for them to call back with the time. My local Dr's here who did the CT scan said my nodule had not changed & see you next year. My Dr in STL who did my annual PET Scan was very concerned & sent results to a oncologist/pulmonologist.
Scared as I too have smoldering multiple myeloma which is a precancer to multiple myeloma a blood cancer that is incurable.
