: Your description lacks any mention of cancer, but since you appear focused on this issue, urge a conference with radiologist and your primary physician to clarify what was actually seen on the CAT scan. Would also propose seeking assistance for your "ocd" with a cognitive-behavioural therapist to seek a way to cope with your concerns.
