Did anyone ever get a surprise primary lung cancer finding?

@phylrose1taubezin

I'm sorry you still don't have answers. How very frustrating. I hope your oncologist will shed some light next week. You're amazing to be in such great health at 85, handling all of this like a champ and still thinking of how to make this easier on others. It's great to minimize their stress by being brave, but also be sure to let them help you so you get the support you need and they don't feel helpless. Please keep us posted.

Just came home from hospital. After scans and biopsies still no results as
to whether it's breast or lung cancer. I have an appointment with the
oncologist next week. Hope there is treatment for all of this. I am in good
health in spite of my age. I'll soon be 85. It's work to keep up this brave
front for family and friends while feeling in such despair. Thanks again
for reaching out to me. I hope you see doing well. 💕💕

Hi @phylrose1taubezin

Hope you are doing okay. What did the PET scan and biopsy indicate?

Pet scan next week and then the biopsy. I'm trying to keep busy but my mind keeps racing to how I'll react to bad news as well as how my family will take it. Thank you for reaching out to me. I wish you well.💕

Hi @mycancer, Lung cancer is such a shock for many of us. I wouldn't have been surprised to hear I had a different cancer, but lung cancer was a surprise. Some of that comes from an outdated narrative and the stigma associated with lung cancer. I now know, "Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer".
I'm glad you continue to do well. I'm assuming that you were taking Tagrisso? Did that stop working for you?

Hello @phylrose1taubezin, Has your biopsy been scheduled? How are you holding up?

I got a suprise one morning when my lung area was hurting thought it was a baseball injury. I had stage 4 lung cancer. EGFR .Had 2yrs. chemo pillis /2years chemo drip .I have no simytons'' Getting ready for spot radiation trial Iam taking 180 mg of melatonin a day to stop it from spreading IT WORKS. lots of luck

Yes. CT scan of head/neck turned up a malignant nodule in my upper right lung. Primary site. No mets.

No symptoms. They refer to it as a mass not a nodule. Under 3 cm in size. Think that biopsy is needed
Somehow expecting the worse. Thank you for reaching out to me. 💕💕

@phylrose1taubezin, I’m glad that they are getting you into your next appointment next week already. Keep us posted on what the surgeon has to say. Depending on the nodule size they may want to watch it, with another scan in a few months. Also, depending on the exact location, a biopsy may be easy or difficult.
I’m assuming that you aren’t experiencing symptoms; no lingering cough, or pressure in your chest or throat?
