I went to the doctor today and received the results of the cat scan I had done last week Monday and there was no change. A year ago, this December (when all these health problems started) I was given a bunch of various tests and during one of these tests they noticed I have spots on both lungs. So they ordered a cat scan a year ago for a "base line" image. Then I had cat scans done again in March, June, Sept and then a week ago. The cat scan done this past March showed they had grown since December of 08, the cat scan in June showed they grew (just slightly) and there was no chang on teh September cat scan or the one I just had done. So he said that I no longer need to follow up on these (YEAH!). The reason they were just doing the cat scans and not biopsying them is because they are to small to even biopsy but with my history they wanted to follow up and make sure they didn't continue to grow. The research I did on the internet says there could be many different causes and all articles said to do just what the doctor did and that is follow up on it every 3 months until they stop growing, or are big enough to biopsy. 
Looking forward to seeing everyone (weather permitting) on Friday. Love ya all, Vonda
