Think pretty acurare I had nodules which over time have disappeared but on one of them showed an infection before I got any symptoms now all clear and gone from ct every 3mths back to a yearly one

When getting my diagnosis for lung cancer, I went from xray to blood work to bronchoscope/biopsy and ct scan with contrast dye.
This was over a 3 day span and my results of scan 3rd day was very certain. Glad we caught it early as my "symptoms" were lethargy, and feeling like I was coming down with something.... Lung Cancer can be quite sneaky, in this way so if you see your Pulmonary Dr on a regular basis, and communicate well, be grateful! Ironically, my cancer might have been missed had it not been for my having COPD and a Dr to go with it....

Cancer free over 3yrs now!
Whew......

Agreed!! Don't stand for the (pat on the head, there, there,) slough off type. Research and show them you have enough knowledge for them to tell it to you so you can be more comfortable with what they say you need. No one advocates for yourself more than you do (unless you are lucky enough to have a take-charge person like my wonderful daughter). So do your homework, journal your days, have a list of questions if you need them, and accept no crap. It took me a long time (I am 78), but working with my daughter on my health care I have started taking up for myself.

My ct showed clear also and yearly checks now. Could it be pleurisy?? Had that and it hurts.?
