I chose this forum as I thought you would be persons most informative that might be able to help me decide. Thank you.
Healthy wellness check/physical — except I showed doctor which she confirmed and is concerned about — slight swelling which has been sort of lengthwise above/atop of my left clavicle, also seems near throat area where clavicle ends there. Been there awhile — no pain — probably several months.
My mom had her PET CT done after an xray and two CT's had seen a suspicious nodule which then became two nodules (only one suspicious). Here are the findings. We see the oncologist on the 1st but my fear is this had spread to hear brain and I dint know if they checked or not. She's been complaining of severe headaches for months now and the eye doctor said it's not because if her glaucoma. Can you please help me make sense if this report before we go in so I'm prepared and can be of better support for my mom and know what questions to ask. I've included the whole report.
Hi All, I am a newbie so forgive me if I am posting in the wrong area of the forum. I recently had my first LDCT Lung Cancer Screening Scan and the results are as follows:
CT FINDINGS:
Lung screening specific:
Nodule 1: Image # 137, size range 5-6 mm, density ground glass, shape round, margins indistinct, location left lower lobe, previous size N/A
Nodule 2: Image # 158, size range 4-5 mm, density groundglass, shape round, margins indistinct, location right middle lobe, previous size N/A.
Hi. Hope you're all doing ok. IDK where to post this, so apologies if posted in wrong section. (im a male.) So, in February, I started getting headaches. Like, severe. They've calmed down somewhat now, my DR said it's migraine, etc. But, on March the 3rd, I woke up with red spider veins, a red rash. I'm trying to get a DR'S appointment, however sometimes they don't have available appointments. What I'm most concerned about now, is lung cancer {SCLC/Pancoast} . I'm 26, 27 in 4 days but, i smoked from 11, quit in 2017, started again in 2021. I smoked around 10-15 cigarettes a day.
