Perfect Blue, while such a mass may be cancerous, it is not automatically cancerous. I know it is hard not to jump to conclusions, but my best advice is wait and review next diagnostic steps with the specialist tomorrow. If it would then turn out to be cancerous, there are next steps to review to combat the cancer. In any event, keep your dobber up as there is always hope! Kind Regards, judg69

Thank you, i am hoping it won't be cancer. and yes our family will do our best to fight.

Hi sorry to read about issues your dad as going on.

Spiculated is star shape and given it location AS you say could be cancerous IF was my results upper right airway issues i would want to find out about.

I had oblong noodle growing on calcified lung tissue in my upper quarter too NEVER looked to good BUT on further test had resolved its self.

So i would not give up hope AS you can never really say.

Do hope things resolve them self LIKE it did for me and your father feels better

Hi, thank you for sharing. Did you have a biopsy? Is it a difficult procedure? I am really at a lost now and afraid but I am.still hoping it is not cancer.

My lungs are pretty cooked with emphysema & bulla and granuloma stuffs

My doctors just watched as biopsy might been dodgy given state of my lungs.

If they was my results i would ask about that airway stuff as airways are allways priority.

You dad as few things going on and with most treatments half battle is being fit enough.

I would ask doctors when you see them to be strait with you.

Hope all go's well.when you see doc's
