Cat Scan Results Not Favorable

I had the Cat Scan last Thursday, August 6th, I immediately emailed the Physician Assistant (PA) as a reminder that it had been completed and I would be waiting to hear from her on Friday. The PA emailed me back on Thursday night and reassured me that she would call me after she had a chance to read the report from the Radiologist. Friday came, I picked up Ian and hung out with him all day and by 6p I had not heard from the PA, so I called her number and got her Voicemail Greeting stating that she was gone for the Weekend. I called Dr. Heath's number, paged her and spoke with her. Dr. Heath informed me that the Nodals in my Lungs had grown 1cm and that since the nodals are located in a Non-Life Threatening area of my Lung that she was concerned with the growth more then anything else. I see Dr. Heath this Thursday and she will update me on what Clinical Trial I am eligible for and when I can start.
Hearing Dr. Heath tell me that the Nodals are in an area of my lungs, that are considered Non-Life Threatening, took some of the anxiety away; since I was not sure of the exact location. My weekend was good, I relaxed as much as I could and started sorting through some of my personal stuff that I had stored at my Mom's House. The sorting wasn't much fun, but it is necessary, so I can figure out what I'm keeping and what I'm getting rid of or donating. So far, not much has been moved, but this will be next. I've also thrown out a couple items also.
I'll be cutting this short, since I really don't have much more to say. I'll update this after I get back from my appointment with Dr. Heath and let everyone know what I'm doing next.
