I have CPFE (pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema) and was in hospital with pneumonia 4 months ago. A scan i had , the doctors thought there was something showing in the lung which they felt and presumed could be a lung malignancy and could not confirm any diagnosis. After discharge I requested a second opinion and therefore had a CT scan again to clarify the doubt. After consultation they still stated they coukd nit say it was lung cancer, further told there was nothing else they could. They said they will arrange a further Scan for end of January 2025.
my great concern is that is this safe to leave this dubious cancer diagnosis till next year and is there anything i could do to clarify this. What if it is cancer and by next year it has spread, where would that leave me?
