Over the past few years 3 friends of mine had a big scare (and some unnecessary surgery) for lung nodules their oncs thought were mets. They turned out to be totally harmless. One of them was already arranging custody for his kids, because he feared he was dying. He's alive and doing fine, three years later.

I'm glad you don't have an alarmist onc, as these people went through H*** thinking they were terminally ill.

Having said that, if you are worried, tell your doc. It's quite likely s/he can set your mind at rest.

Love

Jacqueline
