    Hi Joann.  Try not to worry!  I worried  myself sick when I was told by my doctor that I had various Lung nodules.  And my parents both died of lung cancer but I never smoked- only around smoke for so much of my life.  However,  there's so many things it can be.  So just keep an eye on the Ct scans and they will monitor whether it's getting larger or not.,.but don't worry!!

      Thanks Lisa I was in the hospital on n off the whole month well not in the hospital the ER for kidney stones I passed 4 of them omg so painful and I had like 3 ct scans and 3 chest x rays and lungs always came back clears except for this 1 time I was so freaked out and the ER dident even mention it my doc did at my follow up I forgot to mention I'm a hyprocondric so when she said this to me I freaked out. She was like the odds if you have lung cancer are very slim but it's still not something for me to ignore no I don't think u have lung cancer but I'm still gonna follow up on it in 6 months I'm trying not to worry it's just so hard. I'm like I don't smoke I don't go around people who do smoke I mean I do but u kno what I mean. Ty for your response ?
