Anyone have lung nodules reported on CT scan prior to any treatments?

Posted by sanabuju82 @sanabuju82, Mar 11, 2023

Have Gleason 4+4=8 Grade 4 with surgery scheduled April 5th. Bone scan clear, CT scan shows 3 lung nodules / both lobes with largest 5mm and smallest 3mm. No discussion with physician yet as I have cystoscopy scheduled for the 17th of March. I know these are not uncommon overall, but concerned with underlying prostate cancer diagnosis of Gleason 8. Appreciate any feedback/experience from this group.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

I had a 1 mm punctate nodule on my lung and a 8 mm lesion on liver. These are both common incidental findings. I had a followup abdominal MRI 5 months after my initial MRI. In between those I had my RALP. The followup MRI showed no change in appearance and no signs of metastasis so all is good. You are correct. The lung nodules are quite common.

No never have. I should have said that in initial comment.

That's definitely in your favor. Lung nodules can definitely be just an incidental finding as with many other areas. I wish you the best.
