help about symptoms?????

[Alice]

I just read the post titled "symptoms of mets" and I have some questions for any of you out there that can ease my mind. I finished chemo 9/05 had sx 10/05 finished radiation 1/23/06 herceptin 1/06 thru 6/06 stoped due to cardiac problems. I have had an ache in my left pelvic area for about 8 weeks and weight loss. My Gp ordered pelvic ultrasound which showed a cyst on left ovary.He also ordered an abdominal ct to confirm this, which it did. What suprised him and me was the presence of multiple 5 mm densities in the periferal lower lung lobes of both lungs. Recomendation to have a chest ct in 3 months. Having no symptoms my onc said that I should have chest x ray done at that time. I know my onc doesn't like to do tests unless there are symptoms due to false positives and exposure to radiation in addition to there being no difference in overall outcome. Knowing this, a part of me still wants to know, even if nothing can be done about it what the likelyhood is that these are mets. My onc did use the term " nodules" which to me beeing in the vet med field means "mets". Any advice you can give me I do apreciate.

Thanks, Alice
