Hi -
there is one very small spot on my left lung that I have had for years now. I did not have a chest CT before or during my radiation treatment, so am a little puzzled as to why you had one now.
After my liver mets showed up they scenned me within an inch of my life. This tiny spot on my lung was noted and has been the same for numerous scans now for almost 4 years. Since it was noted when I was going into aggressive treatment for my very extensive liver mets, I did not worry about it. Nothing has changed tho, with chemo and after on Herceptin. So, they think it is something other than cancer.
This is a supposition as I did not have a CT scan to compare prior to the mets showing up. But, I will go with that!
As you say, they will watch the spots and keep good track of them. Many of us have such little places in or on our various organs that turn out to be nothing. Get some sleep, OK?
