Lung Nodules, new problem

I will call my plumnologist on monday, he had put me off till October, both docotors are putting me off, so monday I will call an Oncologist, I now have all of my scans, I cant help but paranoid thinking something is going on, between the lungs and my neck and a something on my arm that wont go away either, so I will call first thing on monday

I had my blood levels checked 2 months ago, my white and red blood counts were normal, the good cholestrol was border line low and my triglicerides were 187, everything else was in the normal range

I will call the plumonologist tomorrow morning, than maybe a oncologist, is that my best route?last 2 days, my neck has a little soreness in it and feels heavy and tight on each side, little pain in the neck and in the ear as well,, I have all of my scans and reports

Have you had a CT scan of your neck?  Lung nodules can be many things.  Lymphoma can look like anything.  It could be metastases or a second primary.  Lung nodules can be infectious as well.  Tell me more....I am an experienced physician in cancer imaging.  Feel free to send me your studies, I am happy to help you.

God Bless and take care,

yes, i have the cd on it as well, the ent, he told me , I dont think it is lymphoma, but i am not sure, come back in 4 months, I am going to do something else tomorrow on it,I have a lymphnode on each side swollen and what looks like another developing just under the chin, my throat has been bothering me this weekend and my upper neck just feels heavy or funny, I have everything on disk, he didnt run any blood work or anything else, the one lymphnode that I pointed out the the ct tech, he labeled it for the scan, it is 1.7 cm in size, the report states there are

here is what the report states towards the end

THE EXTENSIVE CERVICAL LYMPHADENOPATHY BY NUMBER AND SIZE OF ENLARGED LYMPHNODES INDICATES A SIGNIFICANT SYSTEMIC LYMPHATIC DISORDER. WHILE THIS MAYBE A VIRAL DISEASE, A MORE AGRESSIVE PATHOGY SUAS AS LEUKIMA OR LYMPHOMA MAYBE PRESENT

You need to quit screwing around, writting here, and get into a real Pulmonologist or Oncologist, Get things biopsied, find out exactly what's wrong and get into treatment.

Why aren't you doing this?

We want to hear exactly what's wrong and how your treatment is going.

Goo Job keep pushing we will support you. Call the new ENT and introduce yourself. Make sure they know your Pulmn.. is referring you. Make an appointment ASAP.
