@edivebuddy Like I said buddy! I am seeing you. I am so grateful for you to be an ambassador for this disease. Fighters and educators like you are the way this disease will be fought and defeated by individuals like yourself. I am truly blessed to have you in my corner. To be honest, I was at a loss of words when he was communicating with me. All I heard was 98 percent chance of being cancer and everything else was just a blur. I will notify the pulmonologist on the 9th of oct of what the other provider said. Im pretty sure it will be on my chart in the notes. Thank you so much buddy for helping me think rationally, instead of jumping the gun. I hope when all this situates itself out. Meet you and give you a big hug and a beer. You really are a friend and I really mean it.

@joe88 - I also am not comfortable with that person telling you they are 98% certain it’s cancer, especially over the phone! 2 tiny to small size solid nodules, even in the upper lung, do not necessarily point to cancer. How long have you had them? Have you had any flu, pneumonia, or colds before your scan? Usually solid nodules are actually a scar from a previous infection. Again, it’s NOT cancer until it is PROVEN to be. I don’t think I would talk to that other provider again. Remember, you are ALWAYS allowed to get a second opinion. Glad to hear you got your appointment moved up. I’m hoping it’s the sooner you get GOOD news!
