What Are The Possibilities Of Having Cancer Due To A Node On The Right Lung Of About 1.8 Cm ?
I have COPD and in November had to go to hospital I was unable to breath good. I was admitted to hospital was told I had Flu. they Xray and found 1.8 cm node on right lung. The doctor said in a 2008 ct scan didn t show anything on right lung. I know on left lung I have old scar from TB from when I was very young. Now seems they talk like it is cancer. I am to have another ct scan done in Feb. I am wondering how likely it is cancer .

Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
Well this is significant size and it may be cancer,but some other features should be described so I could tell you more precisely what could it be. Of course it still can be just tbc scar or benign calcification but more detailed diagnostics tests are necessary and cancer should be ruled out.
Wish you good health. Regards
