Ok so I just went to the doctor yesterday, and was supposed to go on Humira, but now they are holding off. The x-ray of my lungs showed 2 nodules in my lower right lung(just below my breast) and so now they want me to have a CT scan this next week. Then I will go back in to see my doctor for the results.

My concern is, I was a smoker for about 20 years I quit for the 2nd time this last October. Not sure if the nodules are caused by the smoking or not since they didn't show up on a previous x-ray before my surgery(hist) last October.

Has anyone else had this same problem? And should I be overly concerned or is it routine?:sign0085:
 
I would be concerned, given your smoking history. Hopefully this scare will help you quit smoking for good. Be diligent in follow up with doc. Wish you the best!
