A routine scan revealed a suspicious 3.1-centimeter mass in Dorthy's lung—even though she felt completely healthy and had no symptoms.
In this deeply personal episode of Crazy Good Aging, Dorthy shares what happened after her first biopsy came back negative, why she agreed to undergo another procedure and how doctors ultimately found cancer within a difficult-to-biopsy calcified mass.
She also discusses seeking multiple medical opinions, evaluating conflicting treatment recommendations and relying on faith and a positive outlook while preparing for surgery.
Her message for anyone facing a suspicious scan: Act promptly, ask questions, advocate for yourself and seek another opinion when necessary.
Subscribe and join us for the next episode, when Dorthy discusses her consultations with specialists at Memorial Sloan Kettering, MD Anderson and UT Southwestern.
