3mm spot on lung

[Ph17]

hello everyone!

I wonder if someone can help?

I’ve been on Ibrance for almost 5 years without any progression.

After an 8 month scan weight I now have a 3mm spot on lung that is not showing up cancerous with the scan dye.

my doctor wants to see if it changes.

has anyone else had this and it wasn’t cancer.

My doctor and nurse say the 2. Out of the times it’s nothing.

Best wishes

Yes, I have a lung nodule that has doubled in size for a couple of years and have been on Ibrance for over 5 and a half years. I get PET/CT scans every six months, but they don't show up as cancerous. I have added a pulmonologist to my team, so she looks at the scans too. For me, it's probably related to my allergies.

It's a bit scary, but they don't think it will become cancerous and there's nothing to be done until they reach a certain size.

Hope that helps.

I’ve had calcified lymph nodes in my lungs for many years. Mine have not been cancerous.

Hi Ph17 - of course we are different and I can only share my story. I have had 2- 4mm lesions in my right lung for several years with no change. The docs believe it could be residual scarring from radiation years ago, scarring from a virus or some benign trauma. The statistics show more often than not they are benign lesions. I can only share my response to the scans and docs comments - “Good I will keep visualizing that they are nothing but an anomaly and benign and that’s what holds truth today!” Good luck and I am wishing the best for you!

HiI've not been on your treatment but twice i have had small spots in my lung which have been monitored over time. Once it disappeared; another time it became clear it was cancer.

Both times I didn't worry, I knew watch and wait was the best approach.. Regular scanning (every 3 months) and vigilance on your part is all it takes. If for instance you start to feel a bit breathless report it so you can bring scans forward.

I wish you all the very best and expect you'll still be talking to this community in five years time.
