Thanks Peg and Joyce, Yes, a wait and see attitude is what my onc is doing. I think they do that on most lung lesions. If they start growing then they get worried. I have no coughs or no sounds in my lungs when they are examined, so I'm not worried yet. I do have this pain in my right side but it could be caused from several different things. Lots of luck and blessings to all, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 3/7/2014 12:04:16 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Hi Joyce, I do know that there is another condition call Leukemic Lung Infiltrates, although I cannot get a lot of info about it regarding CML, most of the writings on it involve other types of Leukemia. In my case, like Jeanie, there was a previous scan done that did not show this. For me this previous scan was about a year into my CML diagnosis, only four months on Sprycel. The nodules appeared on the scan done last year, three years on Sprycel! The term Ground Glass Nodule, simply describes a particular appearance, different than solid, of the nodules, but does not define the type or cause of the nodules. Your husband's case is certainly interesting, and I am sure it was of great relief to find out on biopsy that it was not cancer. Mine are still too small to biopsy...I am told it has to be at least 1cm. Right now they are just watching to see if they grow, but so far not at all in the last six months, and may be slightly improved since stopping Sprycel. Thanks for sharing your husband's story...gives me hope.
