Routine CT Scan 12 years after RCC-Tumor Lower Left Lung - Nvr Smoked

I should have put way more details, my apologies! I was sent for an xray in july of this year. incidentally they found the nodule in my right lower lung. after a round of antibiodics and two cat scans, I had a lobectomy. During surgery it was found to be mucinous adenocarcinoma. the oncologist did say it was 1b.
i was hoping i could get a more detailed exclamation about the genetic results. I was also hoping I could know more about how long the tumor had been there? How fast does this actually grow? Ive since had another cat scan and Pet scan to rule out that it had spread from another location.

Good morning. You have a rare but pretty early cancer. It's a subtype of adenocarcinoma, a very common type of lung cancer. Many doctors can't answer your questions. lol. I laugh because it really depends on a doctor's experience and level of education if he can guess growth rate and age. Your type of cancer is usually slow growing.
I'm sorry that I can't give you any science-based information about your cancer, growth rate, or genetics. Connect does not provide medical answers. We are not doctors or scientists. We can provide support and relay our experiences and make certain recommendations or referrals.
I would recommend that you continue to have CT and PET scans and talk to your oncologist about your questions. I did research your cancer and many explanations were beyond my understanding.
I wish you the best with this. It's horrible to have cancer and can emotionally take a toll on a person. I would love to continue to talk with you, offering my support and recommendations. I hope that you will like this too.
Merry
