Hello Tova- I am sorry that I am replying to your post so late. I am so happy that others in this vast group are comfortable and knowledgeable to help too.

Has your dr. mentioned what type of cancer he thinks that you have. A .9cm is about 3" and it will depend on how close to your heart your lesion is and what kind it is if it can be biopsied.

Also, as far as lesion growth, it will depend on what your lesion actually is. Some lung cancers are extremely fast growing and very dangerous and others are extremely slow growing and not as dangerous. But, as you probably know, cancer has its own mind and can do what it wants when it wants.

You seem to have restrictions if you do have cancer. Is this due to other family health issues or work-related?

I don’t know yet what type of cancer it is. But I am a heavy smoker, I have the braca gene, my grandmother, mother, sister all had breast cancer and my 90 year old dad died last year from esophageal cancer. So it’s not work related. The dr is treating it as if it is cancer til the PET scan proves differently. But he highly suspects it’s cancer. He said no biopsies just complete removal if malignant. But it’s near my heart and I’m scared !
