Must be the time of year for pneumonia, i'm dealing with it right now. I have always had some things show up on my ct scans but not light up (since my original diagnosis). This has been going on for 3-1/2 years. Always some small opacities or nodules. My oncologist is not worried and says they have always been there and they come and go. I seem to have a lot of respiratory problems, so they figure it's from that....hopefully. But paranoid, yes....I'm still paranoid. I just know that when I go get my scans again next month that this pnemonia thing will show up and if it lights up, then is it going to be from the pnemonia inflamation or cancer. Already worried about it...sherryg
