26. Waiting is the hardest part. I had a nodule on my lung discovered two years ago
Mon Sep 5, 2022, 09:27 AM
Sep 2022

Not a tobacco smoker but I smoked weed All my life so I was scared. The nodule was discovered in a CAT scan in preparation for radiation treatment for breast cancer. They postponed the radiation treatment and wedged nodule out between my ribs. Fortunately it was benign. They tested all the lymph nodes and everything. I sure hope yours turns out good and if it’s cancer that is treatable and curable. Please know we are with you

So maybe you don't have lung cancer. If you do, a nodule that size can be removed Croney Sep 2022 #12
My doc has told me already that it is cancer, murielm99 Sep 2022 #13
