CRC lung nodule..... chances can be Mets?
I was diagnosed (40yo female) 3c rectal tumor July 2024, did chemo and radiation august 2024 through Feb 2025, LAR in April, iliostomy reversal this past June. My CEA in May 3.8, July: 38. Just had CT scans done yesterday and found a 1.4x1.5cm spot on lower left lung. (A spot was noted in June 2024 petCT 3mm lower left lung and wasn't a concern at the time.)
Chemo doc wants biopsy and petCT, surgery to remove and then 6mo of chemo. He sounds pretty confident its CRC Mets to lung. Seems to be rush rush rush. I don't want to be pushed around in fear urgency. So hard to trust the "system" when I know I'm a huge $$$ for cancer docs.
How urgent can these Mets things be? I have a trip home next week to see family that I haven't seen for all of my treatment thus far. Thanks for your input.
