Lung Masses

[Bleenk]

I am really concerned.  For about 4 months now I have been having chest pain. At the ER a CT Scan confirmed that I have several noncalcified nodules in both of my upper lungs and a predominant 2.5-3cm lung mass in my lower lobe in rt lung. They are scheduling me to get some sort of biopsy on Tuesday. 10/17/2006.  They were thinking of doing a bronchoscpy, but is that the right choice with the mass being in the lower lung? What else can they do? Will they admit me? Why am I in so much pain and my whole rt side of body swollen?

In reading this person's concerns regarding the finding of a lung mass, I have a question. With the finding of the lung mass, a pet scan was ordered and hot spots showed up in one thoracic lymph node, the lung mass and both adrenal glands. Is adrenal gland involvement a common finding if lung cancer is determined? Thanks~
