Swollen Lymph Nodes in Lungs
avatar
BeautifulBuffalo posted:
I haven't been given any answers yet as to possible cancer. On August 3rd I was hospitalized for PE Bilaterally in both lungs. They also found swollen lymph nodes in both lungs. The right side of my heart is not getting enough blood making me winded.

We don't know why the blood clots formed so large and so many. My left lung was nearly blocked.

I know things take time, but I'm getting nervous. I'm also suffering from severe anemia etc... My anemia has been a problem since the age of 4 and I'm 48 now.

My grandmother died of lung cancer. My mother had to have her left lung removed because of lung cancer. I was told this is not heriditary.

Any suggestions, relief, mind set out there.
