13 mm left upper lobe nodule suspicious for mets. Treatment?

Hi, I just had a pet and ct scan which showed a bc recurrence in my right chest wall., my mastectomy side., and a lung nodule suspicious for mets. This is my third bc recurrence., first dx'd in 2008.

What is/was your treatment plan for lung mets?

Thank you.

Hi Pabbiie

If possible the lung met is of a size large enough it might be biopsied to provide hormone her status

I had a CT guided biopsy to determine nodule status as it was easy to access.

Generally not surgery

AI therapy and targeted therapy usually given for hormone positive

Wait till you see oncologist to see what approach us needed

All the best

Bright in hope
