Your pulmonary dr telling you that usually cancer masses are more dense than yours is a hopeful sign. I know how scared you are trust me. I wasn’t expecting this at 59 years old. I had MRI done on brain this morning because of ear and neck pain. Pet scan and biopsy next week. I’m an emotional wreck. My mass is 7 mm. Surreal to be going through this.

I feel so bad for you! None of us are expecting this. I have a Pet scan on Jan 25th. I already survived colon cancer which was genetic. I actually visited my cancer doctor in November and all my blood results were completely normal and they check everything! I take care of my 5 year old granddaughter and the thought of leaving her or my mom behind is more heartbreaking than I can stand. One bit of hope I can give you is that my pulmonary doctor did say that just because a mass is a certain size, does not mean that all of that is cancer. The cancer may be a much smaller area with other cells around it. Did they tell you anything about the lymph nodes? I will keep you in my thoughts! I am so, SO sorry you are going through this and you're not alone!!
@detroitmom23, thinking of you as you prepare for more testing this coming week. Did you find out how the biopsy will be done?
