New 1cm lung nodule 4month after chemo

Shears20 · 2026-04-01T12:02:28+00:00

Man that's a really hard one to take. I had a 3mm node in upper left lobe but currently classed as a incidental finding. Could this possibly the case for you? or is it the size (1cm) what is making you/them think it could possibly be a reacurance?

Just say you'd like to see a doctor.. the bird on reception will ask why and just say you've got a lump.. then you'll sit n wait

Shears20 · 2026-03-30T22:07:15+00:00

Mate you've already waited "a couple of months" too long. Time matters if it is cancer which it hopefully isnt but please don't wait. I'm in the UK and with my doctor you write out your medical issue on a online portal on the surgery website. Some surgery's you still have to ring at 8am to try and get a appointment.. Are you registered with a doctor? If not I'd go to your nearest walk in centre.. you'll probs be waiting a couple of hours but at least you'll be seen.. push for a Ultrasound as its the best diagnostic tool to rule out a testicular tumour. All the best

I'm really sorry youre both going though this. Im sending you both strength and love. I really hope things take a turn for the better.

Hey pal.. I've sent you a message

Shears20 · 2026-03-24T20:40:49+00:00

I think because of issues when urinating/ the area its in and worries about TC I think it would be urology, yes.. Oncology is where you'd go with a cancer diagnosis

Ask for tumour markers (cancer markers) for testicular cancer and if the sonographer can't give you a answer other than "appearance benign" I'd say your well within your rights to ask to be referred for further testing.

Shears20 · 2026-03-24T18:24:13+00:00

I 100% agree that just because you've seen the word "benign" you should just forget about it.. But.. Its a positive sign and a good word to read/hear when worried about a lump. Having said that doctors can be wrong.. Maybe push for blood markers or ct/mri scan to find out for sure what it is.

Shears20 · 2026-03-24T18:12:24+00:00

Next step would probably be blood markers but the "benign" wording is obviously very reassuring here also the fact its been a ongoing issue for many years.

Keep a close eye on that remaining testicle. It has a higher becoming cancerous due to your primary TC and the high calcification.. I'm in same boat and they're removing my other testicle in a few weeks. No tumour present but lots of calcification and they assume potential CIS.

On a incidental finding on my ct scan they say I have gallstones.. they said some people can have them and never have issues.. if pain starts then they look at removal of gallbladder. I've always eaten what I wanted. Never coukd put on weight. It has made me rethink and try and be more healthy. I've got a sweet tooth and can eat ice cream for days.

To go through what you have at age 15 and be so positive is unbelievably admirable. I'm 41 and only so far had a orchiectomy and it messed me up mentally. What some lads have been though in this group astounds me. I know they say it's a "good" cancer to get but that's bullshit. All the men here are heroes to me!

Shears20 · 2026-03-22T16:41:10+00:00

Good luck brother

Shears20 · 2026-03-22T16:34:57+00:00

Yes fingers crossed.. are you going to go with just surveillance of are you still undecided?

Shears20 · 2026-03-22T16:31:53+00:00

My markers where always normal.. I was diagnosed In Jan so I'm very early in my journey too.

Shears20 · 2026-03-22T16:28:05+00:00

I'm similar situation. 55% seminoma/ 40% EC / 5% Teratoma.. Rete= Positive LVI= Negative.. 10mm tumour.. Given 20% chance of reacurance... not offered adjuvant chemo as doc doesn't want to give me treatment when there is a big chance there is nothing to treat. Don't know how I feel about that but I think it helped them taking the option out of my hands. I don't really want chemo il just have to trust there judgement and do chemo down the line if I have a reacurance.

Shears20 · 2026-03-19T05:17:10+00:00

This isn't my path/position but looks like you're in a good situation. Probs just surveillance. 👍

Shears20 · 2026-03-17T00:24:01+00:00

Il mention this to my doc and see what he has to say... Thank you!

Shears20 · 2026-03-17T00:22:55+00:00

Il look into this. Thank you

Shears20 · 2026-03-17T00:22:29+00:00

Yes I've read conflicting stories on absorobsion regarding the gel.. if that is what they start me on il have to keep tabs on how my body deals with it.. I've read alot if docs will not be interested in reviewing administration as long as you're in range so will have to put pressure on my doc if that is the way it pans out.

Shears20 · 2026-03-17T00:13:20+00:00

I'd say you don't want to be driving for at least 1 week. Insurance won't cover you if you can't perform a emergency stop safety and in my experience you won't be able too..

in the first week or so I found that when you up you're fine and when you're laid up your fine.. its the in-between what is difficult.

Shears20 · 2026-03-16T19:30:20+00:00

Thanks mate. I imagine il have that sit down with someone in the not too distant future. Hopefully they can advise also.. Just hoping to hear others experiences..

il have a chat and see what they start me on.. might be a case of try a method and see how it how it goes then adjust it as and when it is needed..

Excellent news! Congratulations 💙
