good to know others are out there! every little twitch now worries me, it is ridiculous... I am trying to master this, there will be lots of time to worry. Thoracic clinic is confident we do nothing right now, quality of life is fine. Removing the 3 large nodules would not significantly alter breathing and docs believe I would do well with the surgery. But they do not want to do it now, adenocarcinomas are too small, doubled in size over 7 years. They will refer me to a radiation oncologist if I wish, but believe they would advise to do nothing at this point. and a PET scan would not pick up something this small. I believe we will know more with the next CT scan in May - has the tissue changed? Have they grown? So until then I am trying to master being calm, not yet successful. I am sure I should be appreciative we caught this so early and somewhere in there I am, but still worried for the long-haul future, What is your situation?
helpful.

@sura- You certainly have been busy! I've had lesions that have been too small that a PET won't pick them up either. Right now, I'm waiting for a CT on January 19th. I am not looking forward to this at all. I might ask my sister to come with me. I travel out of town for Cancer treatments. It takes a little over an hour and then I have to take a taxi through Boston traffic. As is I won't have enough anxiety!
