Hi Donna,

I also have lung nodules in the area of the radiation site. My onc is certain that these are scarring due to the radiation. I also have multiple nodules in both lower periferal lung lobes. These were discovered by accident when I had an abdominal CT to check my ovary. Needless to say I was devistated at the time. Because they were too small to catagorize as cancer my onc also feels these are residual from treatment. At this point we are just keeping an eye on them. i went back for a CT at 3 and 6 months and they were stable- no growth, so I have ellected to skip the next CT and will go back at the 1 year mark which is comming up next month. If they are still stable at that point I am going to start to believe my onc, but not until then.
Good luck, Alice
