Just diagnosed with spiculated node in the right upper lobe
I am a 78 yo male. My pulmonarist said it is very specious because it has grown i n size to 1.5 cm.
I will go to Charleston va hospital soon.
He said a biopsby is not require because it is spiculaüted and grown in 1 year.
I will have a pet scan and then minimum invasive surgery to remove it. Chemo is not
off the tabled. i alsohave DVTs in my right leg, which im taking Eliquist. [second time in 12yrs when i had leukemia. ]
In 1966 i was in the Army basic training, while there i came down with pneumonia and coughing up blood. Since then xrays awayed showed a scar. I read that a lung scar can turn maglignant. sorry for ms.

Update on hospital stay from chest pain. I was diagnosed with pneumonia! Spent 5 days in with IV antibiodics. I had a very difficult time just walking to the bathroom.
If this is what it's going to be like, im not looking forward to 3 more rounds of chemo. I dont understand why they cant remove the tumor now instead of waiting 9 weeks to end chemo. Im afraid i might not make it to the end.
