Hello Everyone, I thought I was done with all my treatments; I had finished my total hysterectomy surgery, chemo, then external, and internal brachytherapy treatments on August 12th. My hair is just barely growing back, very dark brown with white (I’ve been blonde my entire life), I had a follow-up CAT scan on September 19th. Sadly, they found numerous modules in both lungs. We are devastated. The nodules were not there in February. I am scheduled for a PET scan next on October 14th to help give a definitive diagnosis. Other than an infection (no symptoms), it can only mean metastasis. Has this happened to anyone? It is so very hard not to think the worst. We’re grabbing at straws…

Accepted Answer

Finding lung nodules after completing treatment can be incredibly frightening and overwhelming, especially when waiting for more definitive answers from upcoming scans. Many community members have shared similar experiences of unexpected findings during follow-up care, and the waiting period before getting clear results is often described as one of the most challenging parts of the cancer journey. This community understands the difficulty of trying to stay hopeful while facing uncertainty, and there are others here who can relate to what you're going through right now.

Hello Suzanne, I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer this past Friday. Im waiting for the oncology surgeon to call tomorrow. I have been having ongoing health issues since covid including lung nodules. One nodule has grown. Now with the new cancer diagnosis, I like you, am terrified of the worst. I will be praying for you and giving this to God, for his grace mercy and healing. Sending prayers and hugs! 💕🙏

Thank you all for your support, and I’m sending it right back to all of you. I got the results of my PET scan on Wednesday; tragically it confirmed metastases in both lungs. I have a Bronchoscopy with biopsy scheduled for October 24th. Then we will definitively know what we are facing. Cancer sucks… take good care🙏❤️‍🩹
