I have a question which may be as simple as you all to say relax, but I have had a ct. scan 2 times which shows chest nodules???? They have been told to me that they are benign for cancer, how the heck do they know this unless they do a biopsie!!! Am I being too parinoid or should I push for more answrs???? Yes I do smoke, sorry to say!!!

    A lot of us have benign nodules in lungs, including me...Everytime they show up in a scan, they compare to previous scans and if no change, they can assume they are benign (not changing in size, sometimes even getting smaller or disapearing) I am guessing the two scans you had were at least 6 months apart, that gives time to compare and if nothing changed that is a good sign..I know it's hard but try to give lungs a break from smoking so these results stay in your favor...Good luck....

    I have a mole that my plastic surgeon wants to take off, he is concerned that it may be mets..Please let me know if that is something that can happen, it is not weird or strange.

    Maybe I need to see my oncologist instead. I cannot afford non-necessary surgery.

    I have had bilateral in 08 brca pos and no radiation nor chemo.
