Sorry, I can't advise on this. You need to go back to your doctor with any queries.

Use the CT scan as the incentive to stop smoking.

If there was any doubt about the results then you would have been sent for more Scans etc so for now be happy it is good news

Just stop smoking, you are very lucky indeed to have been diagnosed very early. Many aren't until it's to late to make changes.

Life is long, make it of the best quality you possibly can while you still have choices.

Not what you're looking for?
