@bellsina71, this is a repeat of the response I wrote to you in another discussion. But it bears repeating perhaps? 🙂 Spitting up blood and being told you have a mass on your lungs is scary. There's no doubt about that! There are many different types of growths that can form in the lungs that are not cancer. Sometimes these may be benign conditions that are easy to treat or don't even require treatment. Lung nodules (or mass) are very common.
IF your mass is cancer, then you are doing everything right. You are in medical care and a PET scan has been scheduled.
The hardest job you have now is to de-stress while you wait. Not easy I know. But remember that no matter the outcome, being of healthy mind and body is your best bet. What things help you feel calm or distract you?

Thank you so much for your comment! I guess I'm having a little hard time understanding the site and how to comment on things, without repeating myself somewhere else. I do understand that there is masses that can be nothing and I'm hoping for the best of course. I know there's many things they can do now., Even in the last 3 years they've come so far with lung cancer treatments. I am grateful that my lymph nodes look normal and I saw my oncologist not even 6 weeks ago and all my blood work was normal at that time. That is a little perplexing, but also not unheard of. I am trying very hard to de-stress myself. It is extremely hard to do. Especially in the morning when I'm getting my five-year-old granddaughter ready to school and I look at her and know that she's already gone through so much, and I can't imagine if something happened to me. Thanks for your kind words! I really do appreciate it.
