Hello,
My name is Cindy and I am also just finding out about all this as well. I had a lung screening and they found a nodule in my upper left central lobe. Mine was just by chance as I was just setting up a new PCP as I had just moved here a year and a half ago. Turns out the nodule was there since at least 2014, but I never knew. It’s in my hospital records after a car accident, but, the biggie… they didn’t tell me or my Dr!
Well anyway, my journey started on 1-5-23 and have had the Lung screening CT, blood work, Pulmonary visit, an Endobronchoscopy and this past week I just had my PET scan. Mine and my families heads have been spinning! Good news is it hasn’t spread anywhere else! The hard part is waiting for each test result, I think. Then the beating myself up for smoking for so many years, and then turning it to planning on how to fight so I can be around for many more years. I go to Mayo and I wouldn’t go anywhere else here. They are the BEST! I hope you get the care you need and try not to focus on every little thing. (Easier said than done, I know!) Try to keep busy and take lots of long walks. It does help relax you. Best regards!
