spot on lung
by jonnie43, Apr 08, 2006 12:00AM
I was in the hospital and they found a spot on my lungs and did not give me a lot of answers about it. My doctor says it is small and they want to repeat the CT scan in 3 months. I am a little concerned as I lost both my parents to lung cancer even though I do not and never had smoked I still extremely concerned. Is it all for nothing?

It could be just scarring from a previous infection. The purpose of a follow up CT in 3 mos. is to see if it is growing. If it hasn't grown, it is most likely scarring. If it has grown, well then it will be time to worry. Until then, just try to relax. You have no control over it, so why stress yourself out.
