Depends: Do you have any smoking history ? Did your parents smoke? Do you have passive tobacco exposure? If you have these rik factors or any occupational risk factors i would question your doctor further.

Not sure I know: What small means to you, but < 5mm would be my definition. Coupled with weight loss, i'm not sure what to make of this. Need to know how much weight, size of lesion, smoking status for your and parents.

A 2nd opinion: A second opinion is always good in situations like this.

Do you have trouble visualising the primary tumor in small cell lung cancer. I am worried that my fatigue over 4 years is due to lung cancer that is not showing on ct scan 6 months ago. Thank You.
Is it true that the primary tumor in small cell lung cancer is often occult? Does this mean even a CT scan can't see it? Do we only detect on spread
In past year I have had 3 CT scans, 1st was chest ab&pelvis. Next 2 were chest. 3rd ct shows lung cancer. Is this unusual & is tumor quick growing?
If I was having possible signs of lung cancer pain in chest cough a ct scan would probably detect the tumor?
