Lung nodule being treated as Lung cancer due to medical history

"tova's" experience is very familiar. They found a nodule in my right lung by accident - doing a PET scan for a new hem/onc doctor (blood cancer for 10yrs).
I found out via the hospital's myChart portal - nothing from doctor for 2 wks. Just the PET radiology report.
I educated myself pretty fast.
Soon, I wound up getting a 2nd opinion, had the recommended Robotic VATS surgery, and it turned out to be cancer.
Very traumatic.

Bless the federal regulation requiring reports to be posted today. I always read them immediately.

I can only imagine how traumatic this was, @delir. When doctors are so busy or if there are not enough doctors we are left in the dust. I am glad that you had the presence to educate yourself as much as you could in a short amount of time.
How did your VATS go? What kind of lung cancer did you have?
