@joe88 It's good that the radiologist seems to think the nodules are benign. That's good news. I think I would believe your radiologist. He does this for a living. You'll probably be told they're benign and they'll just keep an eye on them.
Yes, it's true that non small cell lung cancer is no longer a death sentence. I have the EGFR mutation. (No cancer history in my family-mom had breast cancer and had mastectomies in her late 50's but had a heart attack at age 76 due to smoking 44 years although she quit at age 60. The damage was done. I take a targeted treatment drug that seems to be working for me with minimal side effects called Tagrisso at 80 mg. daily. I had six chemo treatments with cisplatin & alimpta, and 3 with just Alimpta that ended nearly a mont ago. Yes, I had that many CT scans & PET scans! The tumor has shrunk a little and the metasteses have gone away! I had one on my skull, in my brain and lymph node. I was devastated at the diagnosis, needless to say. I saw here that people have used the targeted treatment (just for stage 4 lung cancer -non small cell) for years. There are many drugs on the horizon. My oncologist has a patient who has been on Tagrisso for 16 years! Very encouraging. One day at a time. I was lucky that my side effects for the chemo were minimal. Mostly fatigue and a little nausea. Some loss of appetite on Cisplatin, but lately I have been gaining weight and eating well and not feeling that bad. I'm a little anemic. I look forward to hearing about your doctor visit on the 18th. I really think it'll be good news.
