Well I had hoped I would never have to have that feeling of dread again. Been cancer free since 2-07,had upper right" barbaric"lobe lobectomy.I had been doing alright until a few months ago when I started having severe painnext to where my lung used to be and under my arm to my breast. I saw a pain management doc who did several blocks using phenol to burn the nerves. That helped to a degree,but I still had that pain close to the chest wall and around to my upper back-shoulder.Now,I recieved a call,personally from my onocologist,this got me because he has never called before.My pet scan showed some"irregularities" in the area by the chest wall and at the lowest part of my neck,I also had pain that radiated to that area of my spine.He wants me to have a ct done now and then see him next week to talk,he said with the lung cancer history I have he wanted to look and make sure these areas were not just some sort of inflammation and he did not want me to get stressed,(I have a panic disorder)but there were these abnormalities.I was so shocked I did not ask him anything.I had a repair person here so I was trying to act normal.I am really scared,I know this can come back,any feedback? I really need some advice on how to take this news.Thanks,janet
