A family member recently had a hospital stay after surgery for breaking a bone. During investigations chest X-rays/CT scans were done and nodules on the lungs were found measuring 1cm and 2cm The discharge note states the X-ray and Ct findings noted two well defined nodules in lung needs further evaluation as differential is wide, metastasis is primary differential. My family member remembers having a discussion with a doctor but was on heavy pain killers and as the incident was whilst on holiday, she had no one with her. Unfortunately, she doesn’t really remember what was discussed. She has an urgent referral but we are not sure what we should be asking the consultant. Does anyone have any experience of lung nodules? And does this mean there is cancer elsewhere? Thank you in advance.
