Nodules

Not sure if I can post this hear but looking for advice. 

I joined a medical trial for copd a few year back,  had my lung CT scan and a few weeks later I get a call stating early onset emphysema which was bad enough however they have found 3 nodules in lower left lung and 1 in upper part of left lung.  3 nodules found in lower right lung making a total of 7.  They have said they are between 4-6 mm each.  They have said another ct scan in 3 months to see if anything has grown. I got my scan date for 20th December which is not great as it will take 3 weeks to get results which means a very stressful Christmas. I don't know what to think or do as I am starting to panic as my heads a mess 

  • Hello Daver4256, 

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I am sorry to hear that they have found these 7 nodules on your lung and I can imagine this has caused some anxiety especially as you are having to wait 3 months to see if they have grown. How unfortunate too that your scan date happens to be so close to Christmas. It's a long time for you to have to wait and I thought I would share with you these useful tips on how to cope while waiting for important news. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
