Hi meme, Welcome to Grace. I
Hi meme,
Welcome to Grace. I'm sorry you have this big scare in front of you. I don't know if those nodules were ever biopsied but it sounds like your doctor has a close eye on it, which is an excellent start. They will probably want to biopsy one to know what is going on. I wish I could say there's nothing to worry about but there really isn't any info here to say much. I know that waiting is one of the hardest parts and I'm truly sorry to know that is exactly where you are. A cancer diagnosis, if you have or get one isn't a death sentence. Especially one that starts off as slowly as not doing anything for years. That suggests a type of cancer that can often be kept in check kind of like a chronic illness.
Keep us posted on how this proceeds and any questions moving forward.
All the best,
Janine
I joined GRACE as a caregiver for my husband who had a Pancoast tumor, NSCLC stage III in 2009. He had curative chemo/rads then it was believed he had a recurrence in the spine/oligometastasis that was radiated. He's 10 years out from treatment.
