Hold your horses: Your doctor wants to be thorough and focus better on what was seen on the x-ray. I realize it is easy for me to say but try to stay cool and wait to see what the scan shows. Don't lose faith, that can easily be non malignant. Best to you.

Possible : Possible , two thirds of lung cancers will not have curative surgery , due to late diagnosis, or too late for surgery due to spread, or not surgical candidates like small cell cancers , may be your doctor want to make sure , you get the best treatment by early diagnosis , so get the ct done and discuss with your doctor.
