lump in armpit and 2 nodes on my lungs?

Hi,

After a ct scan 2 nodes on my lungs were found and I found a lump in my left armpit a 1 /4" wide and 1/4" deep.
The doctor wants to follow up with another ct scan in six months to measure it again. I'm scared I get sick feelings that last hours sometimes. Massive chest pains all over. And I'm very tired all the time.
I'm wondering what blood tests I can ask for to determine cancer or not?
I don't want to wait until it grows to find out I'm going to die, when a test now could determine what is going on with me?

The D. seems to be not concerned. If the ct scan was bad then he ouldn't wait for 6 months. I have a lump in my armpits right now and it's has something to do with my changing deodarant.
Why not get another opinion.?

Re: lump in armpit and 2 nodes on my lungs?

Hi,
When he told me about the two lung nodes he wasn't thinking about the lump in my armpit. I mentioned it to him after he said to have my family doctor schedule another ct scan in six months. I told him how large it was.
He then proceeded to tell me to have my family doctor look at it asap, and not to put it off. He mentioned that the nodes in my lung weren't there in April when I had chest x-rays done.
So far no medical person has examined my armpit lump yet. And the person who ran the ct scan missed scanning it when it was requested...
Human error...
I can't get in to see my doctor until September 8th.
Cancer runs in my family at a young age. Very common I'm certain.

The doctor I was speaking to on the phone is taking my scan to the radioligist again for another look.

I just want to be prepared.
And make certain I ask the right questions.
From the research I have obtained from the internet. 6 Months is a long time to wait.

Re: lump in armpit and 2 nodes on my lungs?

The radiology dept went over my ct scan again and in the report they are now called "masses". They are in my lower left quardrant of my lung.

So if anyone knows what blood tests or whatever I should ask for, please tell me.

The six month wait for another ct scan was cut in half today.
Thanks,
Dan

Re: lump in armpit and 2 nodes on my lungs?

Has anyone discussed a biopsy or bronchiastomy(sp)...to determine what the 'masses' are...if not ask....hopefully nothing and benign...but if it was something...even 3 months before re-testing...would be a very long time...worth having additional tests to know what is going on...take care...c
