Joy - regarding your lung queston, I know when they went in for my pleurodesis, they took a sample of a spot on my lung that proved to be scar tissue from histoplasmosis, which is common in our part of the country to show up in peoples lungs. My husband had one show up in his lungs years ago and it is always there, but is nothing to worry about. Could it be possible that is what yours could be? I don't have a medical background so I don't know if they show on CT scans or not.
