I have a question about metastasis to the lungs which I hope to be able to attribute to nothing more than hypersensitivity.
On Monday of this week while exercising I noticed that my lungs hurt a little when I was breathing heavy. Throughout the week I continue to notice a soreness/tightness in my lungs. It is possible that I could be coming down with a cold or something but I do not have any other symptoms.
I ended up calling my Oncologist today and left a message for the nurse practicioner but feel a little silly. A one year post treatment PET CT is scheduled for 5/5/09.
What do you guys think? Can you find out that you have metastasis to the lungs in this manner or am I freaking myself out over nothing?
It is nice to be able to come to the board and ask about my fears whether they turn out to be founded or not. Thanks for being there.
