Wow, you really went through some stuff with the colon cancer! It must have been terrifying, especially at such a young age and then losing your brother to it. Then your mom going through her cancer…. I feel for you. I’m glad you have a good support system though. How big did you say the mass on your lung is? Mine really big at 7mm. There are some hopeful signs that yours is not cancer - the dr saying it’s not very dense, and the blood loss doesn’t seem like it’s something that would happen with cancer? I do hope you at least look into whether there’s a research hospital in your area. They have access to clinical trials that other hospitals don’t. I try not to look at statistics about lung cancer because it’s bad but I’m trying to be hopeful about new advances in treatment. Let me know how things go with scan Friday. 🙏

If yous is 7mm it is not very big. Mine is 5.7 CM which is 2.5", if yours is mm, it is very small. He told me that cancer is usually more dense, or the mass is usually dense and he said this was not very dense, he also said that the lymph nodes around it were normal, no swelling but I aslo have some smaller nodules close by to the bigger mass which could be satellite densities. It's all very terrifying!! The rest of my lung feilds were clear. Sometimes living in cold climates we can get these smaller nodules that are just from brochitis or past lung infections and they mean nothing. If yours is only 7MM that is not big at all!! Let me know how things go with you with your scan too!!! I am very nervous, but who wouldnt' be?!
