Re: Not sure what to think of the info I got today

I also have a lung nodule and an area of scarring from an pneumonia from years before BC. We are an unfortunate group that we know all the weird things in our bodies from tests and scans. The regular population has these things too but just don't know it because they haven't been poked, prodded and pinched like we have been.

I know you will still worry. I did too but believe it is nothing because it probably is.

Huge hugs from me to you.
