I've only been in remission from breast cancer since the end of May and now the dr has found lung no

I'm praying that the nodules are nothing to worry about. When do you expect to hear from your oncologist? I saw mine yesterday and he told me I'll have another CT scan in 2 months to look at nodules found on my PET scan. So sorry you have to worry like this. It's so unfair.....

Saw the dr today and the bone scan is clear. The lump is a little larger but she wants to wait and do a CT scan in a couple of months rather than just do a biopsy and find out what it is now. I called my oncologist and left a message for him to call and let me know what's going on.

I spoke to the oncologists office yesterday and they said that they want to do both biopsies. It's the thoracic surgeon who wants to wait....it was because of her that it took me more than 3 months to get a diagnosis.....I could go on about her but it'll just piss me off

This discrepancy has been making me crazy......my mind automatically goes to cancer. The oncologist has ordered the biopsies but I still don't have a date for them....hope I get a date soon....

Well I had a brief convo
Well I had a brief convo with my onc today. He said that the radiologist thinks the node may be too small to biopsy (that was my understanding) I told him the thoracic surgeon briefly looked at the lump even after telling her that it was getting larger.....sigh...it's no wonder I'm in tears again.....he also said that if the lump enlarges more in his absence to go see the thoracic surgeon and show her. He'd like to do another CT scan sooner than thoracics....also he wants to have a meeting with the other 2 drs about it. It's going to be another month before I hear any thing....

Update
I went to the ER on Sunday as I was in considerable pain and needed help. The ER did a CT scan (comparison with the scan done on Dec 29)and I found out that there was sclerotic lesions on the 4th & 5th ribs (Dec 29) and now there are new sclerotic lesions on the same ribs. They also found and increase in nodular opacity in the large fissure on the right side which could be due to a lobulated fluid collection or a new mass as well as an increase in the size of the fissural nodule. The ER/Radiologist recommended follow up. My family dr agrees. I called the oncologists office and left a message.....his secretary called and told me the dr would get back to me......his secretary called today and left a message. The oncologist wants to discuss the CT with the radiologist because he doesn't see where the lump has gotten larger.....it has.....I haven't had a pain free day in months. I'm at a point where I want to get another opinion
