prednisone

[Guest guest]

i have been on this web site for about a year and read everyone's post everyday. i was diagnosed with lung sarc 2 years ago after they found it by mistake. i had a chest biopsy done to confirm it was not cancer. looks like sarc smells like sarc, they told me this. i am 33 years old and do not have any symptoms. i have gone every year to get a cat scan done. i went to my pulm doctor yesterday and he informed me that my sarc in my lungs have got bigger. he asked me if i have had any infections lately. when i went to get my cat scan done, i had a bad sinus infection. he told me that in 6 weeks to get another cat scan and that it might be the infection that caused the sarc to be bigger. is there any truth to this? i went to the doctor's by myself, because i thought it would be a normal office

visit. i wish i would have taken my wife, because she knows the questions to ask. my specialist stated that in 6 weeks if the cat scan grew or stayed the same i had 2 options. one option was to start prednisone. second option was to get lung biopsy and than start prednisone. the radiaologist wrote on his review that he suspected a cancer. my specialist stated that he does not feel a lung biopsy was needed, due to confirming thru chest biopsy that it was not cancer. i am writing this to maybe see if anyone had a similiar experience or if the had any guidance. i am scared ****less, because i read how horrible prednisone can be.
