Question Have a question????

This seems weird, but I figure I would throw it out at you. My co-worker who was dx this past spring w/ ER+/PR+ Her2 - Stage 1, did radiation, but had to stop Tamoxifin just told me that due to a tight chest her onc ordered a chest xray and just called and told her they found a node on her lung (she was dx on the left and the affected lung is on the right as well as she was VERY sick over the holidays, the doc first prescribed an inhaler and now she says she is better). Thoughts, ideas...I know it "could be" mets, but it doesn't sound likely. Take care and God bless.

Sounds like pneumonia to me. They look similar on an Xray. A friends' husband was told he probably had lungcancer when they saw something on his Xray. Turned out to be scarring from pneumonia he'd had years ago.
