Multiple nodules, stumpted pathologists...
by tlee59, Mar 04, 2008 03:03PM
I've been fatigued for several months... on Jan 31st I had a CT done after an x-ray came back 'suspicious for nodules'. The CT found over 80 nodules (only 3 showed any calcification). Since I had an abdominal CT done last August for another issue and no nodules were seen in the lower lungs my Dr. was concerned and arranged a surgical consult. I had a VATS lung biopsy done on the 14th of February. Although there is no cancer present (some good news!), the pathologists are stumped. At this point they are eliminating different things instead of focusing on what it is. Late last week some of the tissue samples were sent to the Armed Forces Pathology Lab in MD. My patience is running thin! Anyone with a similar story or some info to help me? Along with cancer the list of what they have excluded so far includes an old or current infection. I have uterine fibroids, they thought it may have had something to do with those, it does not. It does not have the appearance of normal granulomas.
Thanks for your help!
