Can anyone please help as very concerned?
After other health issues that resulted in me having CT scans. During these scans, they detected an area of increased density in the right upper lobe of my lung.
I was given a follow-up scan 3 months later which showed the area to still be present but had slightly reduced in size.
I was then given a 9 month follow up which has come back with the following: "The subpleural area of ground glass shadowing in the right upper lobe persists and is larger when compared with the last scan. it measures 18mm (3/21). There is no solid component within it.
Although this could represent an area of scarring, occasionally early adenocarcinomas can have a similar appearance.
Recommend a 2ww appointment to the chest physicians for further assessment and management.
I must point out I have Lupus.
It has now been 2 weeks since this and I have not received my 2ww appointment. Today I called and chased up my appointment only to be told the referral for a 2ww has been cancelled by an MDT meeting.
How can they just cancel this without seeing me or doing further tests? I have something growing in size regardless if it is an adenocarcinoma or scaring surely we need to find out what it is and why it's getting bigger.
I thought it was my right to be seen under a 2ww appointment for further tests. I am very concerned that this MDT team have not taken into consideration my lupus and also how can they overrule a Consultant Radioligist.
Any advice will be very well appreciated as I am naturally very concerened.
