@lady1lake- Good morning. It's good to be in touch with you once again. I'm sorry that you have headaches and backaches. I hope that you hear back soon about the scan results and your next step. Sometimes scans pick up very strange readings. Shortly after my first cancer, and way before my second one I had a scare because the CT picked up, what looked like another tumor. Bit it wasn't It was just a shadow. Drinking a lot of water and a sensible diet ate positive ways to keep control of how you feel. I hope that you have painkillers if you need them. Please come back and let me know what your next step is. Hugs

Thank you Merry for staying in touch. The scan of my upper back shows a questionable area. The person who read the scan recommended that I have another scan & this time have it with contrast. My Mayo Dr ordered the first one without contrast. I have not heard back from him yet even though we mailed the scan CDs a week ago. Nothing on the patient portal yet, so will call him this afternoon. Since I have had degenerative disc disease for many years it could be related to that. Praying that it is not bone metastasis.

@ladylake- There's a wonderful magazine called CURE magazine. https://www.curetoday.com/ It is absolutely the best in up to date news, research and spend a lot of time with each different cancer. And a lot of time with lung cancer stories. I believe that it's free.
