Hi,
Hi,
lung nodule - if I’m not mistaken, doc compared it to previous scan, it didn’t change, so it’s benign, as he said in description. And this small renal lesion is also most likely cyst. So there is no need to worry about cancer. But most probably there will be follow up to be 158% sure. BuT it seems there is NED in da house :-)

the lung nodule it wast in the last scan 6 months ago... or at least they never mentioned it to me.....that's way I am so worry... the cyst on the right kidney it as mentioned in the last 2 scan and it hasn change...
the report at the end only mention this:
1. Diffuse hepatic steatosis.
2. Stable scarring left kidney.
3. Colonic diverticulosis.0 -
Waiting again
As previous posters noted it seems like a good report. The wait is going to be hard. It seems if your not waiting for something your waiting for the results of that something. If its that bad reach out to the Dr, what do you have to lose? Good luck on your wait.

It could be that nodule
It could be that nodule simply wasn’t mentioned as obviously benign. Happens all the time with benign findings. As you see, radiologist was able to find ir on previos scan and compare ( he mentions the lobe, the slide number and says that nodule is stable and benign). So no worries about the nodule!

I can imagine.... But try to
I can imagine.... But try to repeat to yourself that nodule is stable. Mets are not stable, they grow. And radiologist stated “benign”. think of this - how absolutely sure he/she should be to make such statement today, when all doctors try to cover their backs? :-)
