mass used on latest X-Ray
So I have been dealing with NSCLC for the past 7 years. My most recent LC screening showed a 'new' speculated nodule. a few weeks ago I ended up in the ER for problems breathing and an X-ray was done lo look for pneumonia and the report says in findings "No acute findings paramediastinal mass " . No pneumonia was found. I think I am trying to decide if I should follow up on this or just wait for my next CT scan in October for the speculated nodule. I don't know if I am just trying to tell someone that I might have my lung cancer back or am I trying to weigh my options like should I even waist my time and money on going through treatments. I don't think I'm depressed but somewhat scared I think. Even though I know where I am going when I do die.
Hi
thanks for reaching out. I can understand your concerns and I definitely think you should reach out to your doctor to discuss the scan. Since you have had problems breathing and your x-ray shows a mass, I would follow up. Waiting until October seems like a long time and your doctor should be able to respond to you quickly with your questions and concerns. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

for your comment. I don't know if I am making a mound out of a mole hill because the radiology department didn't say anything to me I just read the report that they sent me. I would definitely recommend that you reach out to them, if for nothing else, than to ease your mind. They get questions all the time, and you saw something, so you have every right to ask!
