Oh dear, that certainly wasn't the news you hoped for, was it? I'm sorry you didn't have a clear scan.

My friend Deb was in the exact same situation years ago. She however, DID smoke. She had a VATT thymectomy and removal of her mass at the same time. The mass was negative. It was removed and she went on without any more problems from that.

Try not to worry until there is something definitive to worry about if you can. Just remember there are many causes for nodules, masses, etc and not all of them are bad, or will have a bad outcome.

Keep us posted. Big hugs!
