What a fantastic doctor. I wish all doctors spoke in this manner.
T1ubf
Your joking he’s a lazy bastard or you would get the nodule treated to start with
Totally agree! 💯
I know that's right lol we worry our self
Dr Hogarth, if you treat your patients like you present yourself, you are one hell of a doctor and advocate of your patients. Thank you for the video.
Let me just say this, THIS is a doctor that really knows how to speak to patients. Outstanding doctor!
This Dr. is AMAZING there should be ALOT more like him.!!!!
My CAT scan 6 weeks ago shows a 31.6mm nodule upper right lung. I went to the ER for TIA symptoms May 4th 2023. Released 24hrs later after a battery of tests. I followed up a week later May 11th with my PCP who also is a Pulmonologist. As he is reviewing my test results from Hosp, he says, "'We need to test further for the lung nodule'... I was like, "what?"' .. They never said anything about it in the hosp. It was picked up on a CAT scan of my neck and my PCP lets me know for the first time. So last week ... 4 weeks later, I went for a full lung CAT scan and tomorrow I get the results. I'm not terrified, surprisingly. I'm ready. Ready to fight or ready to relax but more so numb. Just wish Dr Hogarth was the doctor I was seeing! Prayer works 100% for comfort :)
What are the results of your cat scan? Are you ok?
what are your results?
Yes, what are results.
Yes what are the results?
Thank you for sharing your story. They just found a spot on my oldest lung and he's been admitted to the hospital while they do blood test and a biopsy. So I'm trying to do as much research as I can. It's a little scary but you are 100% right...prayer comforts. As I am praying for my brother I am praying for the best outcome for you too. GOD IS ABLE
Best humane Dr. who understands people, not just medicine. Thank you.
I have nodules. Wish you were my doctor. You are so positive
Wish you were mine too - have already lost a lung x
I love this guy! Healthcare as it should be.
It’s so comforting to hear the way you sound and very thankful to come across this video.. thanks doctor wish i was your patient
Love this guy he breaks everything down perfectly I have a 8mn and am scared as hell
What was the result of this ?
Hi, how was your result?
This video is what I needed to hear ❤ 🙏 to all the other anxious people like myself.
A breath of fresh air doctor 🧑⚕️
I’m so glad I watched this video, not one of my Drs has told me what you just said in this short video. Thanks.
I love this doctor. He puts your mind at ease
I really felt when he was talking about appointment turn around time. Been sick for 2 years, but now that the modules found, they are moving fast.
Oh wow!! Great explanation Doctor!! We need more doctors like you!!!
Thank you Dr! I love your compassion and your expectation that our patients must be seen within a sensible period of time. The long drawn out process, of waiting for clarification of a diagnoses can be very detrimental to a patient overall health. Not to mention the mental health of that patients loved ones. Thank you for what you do. We need more sensible thinkers like yourself. ❤ kim RN
Informative and you are fabulous! What charisma!
Omg this doctor made me calm down after i got my results i was freaking out but now i feel more relief. Thank you so much for this well explained video . God bless you 🙏 ❤️
What were your results? I am freaking out now
@johnanton191 i was told i have a small pulmonary nodule but the doctor said that was an incidental finding that is probably benign. She did recommended to follow up with a repeat CT scan in 6 months.
@@marielareyesmolina8576 That is Good news!
Thank you recovering from lung surgery and so grateful it is 2033 and have been watched and assessed since 2017
Your fantastic! I just came across your video (year later). Searching for information about my own CT lung cancer images and results❤
Thank you that was the most valuable video I've seen on this type of subject.
Thank you Dr sir for your kind uplifting words 💕👏
You're awesome Doctor, thank you !
Thank You for sharing your insight,Dr. Brings perspective.
I really like this doc. I wish he was mine.😊. He's so soft-spoken but very clear. Thank you, and God Bless you for the work you do.
He is a top ,well experienced Doctor , the type of personality I would thrust and you want to have in serious moments . I am coming from a doctores family and work by myself in a medical part . If a serious history is suddenly your own history you feel typically different , and even I know what he wants to express the internet can be a good help to find the latest treatments , basic informations or doctors like Dr Hogarth who are able to make bad things a bit better .
Thank you Doc , you are a real medicine man ;-)
Thanks 😊 excellent explanation 👍
Wow he is definitely one of a kind 😊
💕You Sir are FIRST CLASS ALL THE WAY💕
This doctor sets the standards for every single intern/resident and doctor now or in the future!
I’m in England and because of my age, 67, we are offered lung check scans. The first showed a nodule so I was scanned again in three months - no change in the nodule so I was scanned nine months later. This scan on 7th November showed a suspicious solid lump, not the original nodule btw. I was contacted on the 10th November and booked into the heart and chest clinic on the 13th November, the weekend came between those dates so was delayed by two days. On the 13th I saw a specialist who explained I’d need a pet scan, lung function test and I biopsy. I had the lung function test today 15th November, tomorrow I have the pet scan and next week will have the biopsy.
My entire family and myself have always had the very best treatment on our NHS, including with our GP’s but if you read the National news you’d think it’s on the verge of collapse. I cannot praise the NHS enough and all the staff who work for it.
With American health care the hospitals are independent. Often doctors belong to a group, which can be good or bad. I have been waiting for a month for the results of a camera capsule test (in lieu of a colonoscopy). Since then my pulmonologist sent me for a PET scan, which showed something in the colon. It's time to change gastroenterologists, get the results and see if there is a connection to my crop of lung nodules.
@@Anne--Marie How are you doing?
How are you doing?
@@user-fi3pf3oo1u Thank you for asking. The gastroenterologist said that it was nothing, but I'm not convinced. In the meantime, the pulmonologist put me on a short course of steroids. I'm getting caught up on my vaccines so that I can start methotrexate on Sunday. Thank you again!
I was diagnosed with a lung nodule. I was a scuba diver, diving every other week year around. Divers Alert Network (DAN) at Duke University told me to STOP diving immediately. My DAN insurance was void. The nodule can trap nitrogen during a dive and not release it like normal tissue would while ascending. At some point the nodule could release a nitrogen bubble which would travel to my heart and possibly to cardiac arteries resulting in a heart attack or a bubble to my brain and have a stroke. I stopped diving. A friend died diving from that exact scenario up in Canada. Autopsy revealed cancer in his lung that was unknown to him. He had a complete physical two weeks earlier. When your number is up, it’s up.
While I wish you the best I would like to know how you're doing. By the way: you are right. Nobody knows when it's going to happen; but my religious believes tell me that somebody does know but won't tell; in the meantime we have to keep going and trying our hardest. Good luck.
So glad I came across your video you are so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to so thank you for your video and will be watching for more😊
Thank you for being so truthful and easing some fears.
Lean on Jesus , ask God get in your knees Everybody and Ask God to forgive you for your Sins and heal your body and live for Jesus. Amen you going to be Alright All of us in the Name of Jesus. I have a Story to tell too. Amen lets give it to God Almighty the Author and The Finisher.
THIS DOCTOR IS A UNICORN!! OMG IF I HAD THE $ TO FLY TO THIS DR, I WOULD GO ANYWHERE JUST TO BE HIS PATIENT!! (yes I am screaming this post lol)
This was really stress reducing. I just learned via a phone call from the PA that i have a node. Actually two. Have been in shock She doesn’t know size or shape. Have to wait till I can get a ct scan. Nice to know most of these are benign.
7 mm nodule and several tree in buds. I didn’t smoke but I might as well have. My parents smoked 4 packs a day…in the house. It was the 60s and 70s so they didn’t know any better.
So you were in fact a passive smoker.
"Protect you from the internet" as we watch you on the internet. 🤣 But Dr. Google is so accessible! And it doesn't help that I was a medical transcriptionist for 20 years and was used to looking things up (pubmed being the on-line bible). I do appreciate your sense of humor and your frankness, Dr. Hogarth.
Don’t wait, I have stage four colon cancer that went to my lungs, this doctor is right, get seen about quickly at least it will put your mind at ease, there’s more chances that it’s not cancer
Wishing you the very best of luck with treatment...they are making inroads towards a cure. Hang in there!
@@Diplath Thank you, Thank you, your right I’m hoping something will come about before it’s too late for me, right now I’m terminal but I still believe there can be a turn around
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know how difficult this fight is - I'm stage 4, too. Stay strong. The next clinical trial could be the answer you need.
@@Diplath Thank you and prayers for you, I believe we will be ok😊🙏🏼
Me too💙
Good doctor is hard to find just like you doc
Thanks so much for explaining lung nodules so clearly you seem like a very good doctor
They found a spot on my lungs last September but said it was small but they just want to watch it and I have to wait until September to see it again.
How are you doing now? As I have the same thing.
Thanks for this - just heard today - they said wait a year - love this video
Outstanding Info!!
Thank you I had a few of them in 209 I had to do nothing I was blessed
I was a heavy smoker
Thanks for injecting some humor into what can be a scary journey. My PCP found a nodule in 2008 when I presented with shortness of breath and asthma like symptoms. I befuddled the most prominent pulmonologist in western Virginia for years before just simply learning to live with the SOB (not the doctor). As the SOB progressed, I saw a new pulmonologist who ordered 4 CT scans in just a couple of years. New scans show progressive scarring consistent with sarcoidosis or mesothelioma, but my history doesn’t suggest that. In all that time neither doc discussed size or growth, density or shape. I think they were just lazy. Now I know some questions to ask when I go back in 2 months.
I’m so sorry. God bless you.
How are you doing????
Great doctor!!!!
My 88-yo mom has a 1.3 cm spiculated nodule and refuses to get a PET scan or biopsy. She’s in the ICU now with her third bout of bronchitis in 2 months. We don’t know if it’s actually lung cancer but just have to worry it is. Even the pulmonologist called it lung cancer. Don’t do this to your family. Get tested and prepare.
Hope your mom is doing well.
Did she get a pet scan to check the cause of her spiculated nodule?
Hi, she never had it tested. She passed away January 4.
@@zlover0201 I’m so sorry to hear this.
May she rest in peace.
Sorry to hear that
I WISH I would get the care you mom is refusing. My nodule is bigger than hers and is also spiculated and I have new ones on my second lung now, but I am told it is all in my head. Even was told at one time that it disappeared. Been medically trransported to so many different doctors and getting now care. Was turned down for feeding tube for my gastroparesis also.. I wish my family was still alive and I wish I had friends to help me advocate.
Had lung nodules show up in my CT scan about 3 months ago, but the radiologist put down on the reading no suspicious pulmonary nodule. We’ll see if there’s any change next week when I have my next round of scans (I’ve been getting them every 12 weeks as part of a clinical study that I’m part of for prostate cancer). My wife, who’s a CT supervisor, says she sees a lot of patients she scans have lung nodules that aren’t cancer. So going by both the reading & my wife, I’m not worried (at the moment) about the lung nodules.
I love you doctor. Thank God for you.
Wow 2 weeks for an appointment. They found 4 nodules on my lung I am having a very hard time breathing. I have waited 10 weeks for an appoinment
What did they tell you if you don't mind sharing
I have a lung nodule 5mm I was a smoker for 10 years and recently try bk and my heart n blood pressure raises
You made me laugh. I was getting ready to put my affairs in order. I still will, but not with the fear I had. Thank you!
I like this doctor as well. I wish he was my lung doctor . Do you know if a thermology pic taken with no signs of inflammation on lung is reliable at all?
Nice explanation.
About time somebody
Said something
I have a small one. I’m going to get it checked
I want you on my side.
Thank you Doctor
Thank you. x
I'm in the UK. I have a lung nodule - due for my 2nd scan - a nurse rang me today to say that the commissioner in the North West has decided to put a hold on lung scans 😮
So I am now left wondering what it could be, but knowing that I'm unable to get the scan I was due to have.
(we were actually on the way to my 2nd scan and I got a call saying that the machine had broken down down, so it was cancelled!)
The NHS in the UK is in dire straits. Just a last note - the scans in all the other areas of the UK are going ahead, it's just the North West that have stopped!
It definitely adds to my anxiety as I really thought they were looking after me.
Thanks so much for your vlog it was very interesting - much love from Liz in Lancashire England xxx ❤
I had two CT scans within four months of each other. The nodule the scan picked up both times. Very small . Just recently was referred for a PET scan had that within ten days of being referred. Nodule didn’t light up on the scan. So that’s good news. Now gotta decide what do. Doesn’t mean to say I’m not scared and suffering from anxiety though .
Hope you get sorted out soon
Thank you doctor
I had a lung nodule, they monitored it. COVID19 hit, missed my CT Scan went 7 months late and it now grew to a mass, 12 days later I had a phone call appointment with the Surgeon and 10 days after that was my Surgery. I knew it was Cancer, though the Surgeon didn't think so (and everyone kept telling me to be "positive") and was shocked when he saw the pathology identifying Adenocarcinoma. Lost part of my lung and now the last CT Scan they found another one in the same lung different lobe. I am back to where I started....not happy. Oh and I am NOT a smoker, never. Figure that.
I know exactly how you feel….I am going through this now….1 full year of immunity therapy, oh fun having the port put in my chest….so when people whine about Covid, I think you should count your lucky stars….I am not a smoker either, never did think burning money, it is like burning money
@@ThePHYL It definitely sucks and no one should say they know the pain of having a Chest Tube in or a Port unless they actually had them. Will never forget that pain/discomfort and will dread ever having another Chest Tube in the future.
God bless you all with speedy recovery
🙏
Lately on my xray found nodule on my right upper lung.1cm .felt like I'm drowning .I pray and hope it was not a cancer.doctor reconmend me to go under ct scan or MRI
Wow, great doctor.
Love this doctor
God blessed you. I have hodgkins. I now have a I thought nodules underneath my rib cage. Both sides. Painful and makes me incapable to move. Have a oncologist. Got xray. Said it was spasms. Got 1 week meds. Still really hurts. He said it was not cancer or nodules. But spasms. What are your thoughts. You know. I am see a pulmonary Dr for shortness. Can hardly breath. Cough. Got an inhaler that helped tremendously. You are so knowable. Can you explain my true. I have immunotherapy. Stem cell transplant now after 7 yes have breathing. Sever problems. I know you have the answer. God bless keep informing us. Thanks a million
currently awaiting my second CT scan for this. i've spent weeks worrying myself sick about this
Lately on my xray.seen 1cm nodule in my right lung.and I have heart disease also.felt like I'm drowning everyday to end.
@@nfielmusic9766 How are you doing?
Great doctor,I’ve seen no one
Your an excellent doctor. Which you could be my doctor. I had covid in my lung. I’m doing ok
Waiting 2 weeks so far for biopsy 🇨🇦🙏🙏🙏 RCC radical nephrectomy 10 years ago. My left stomach is bulging like pregnant it's huge. I only have a phone Dr. Scary
Thank you so much for the video it helped to ease my mind because my doctors never addressed my ct scan and it's been a week, I know that not long. but for someone that there test show nodule it been scary thanks

Amen Jesus Christ is always the answer.
Anyone that is scheduled for lung cancer screening should watch this video.
Mine went from 1mm to 12mm in a year,was told to go back to my main doctor I did and he wouldn’t see me he had a pa see me and blew me off I went back several times finally she yelled at me you have gas and a sore throat and don’t come back,also had some that were oblounged and one with calcification within the nodule,what a joke
I just had a biopsy on my right lung nodule and have been diagnosed with non small cell carcinoma. 1.3mm nodule. Get them checked..😢
I was told by 3 doctors I had lung cancer. Months later I was told it was a module now I don't see him for 1 year
a recent ct scan of my lungs found multiple nodules. the first words out of my sister-in-laws mouth was cancer and that i need to see an oncologist. i'm not gonna worry at all unless my next yearly scan shows that they are larger. i was diagnosed with bronchiectasis so i have other things to worry about.
Dr. In my X ray report from Apollo Hospital Lucknow is "NODULAR OPACITY SUGGESTIVE OF OLD FIBROTIC NODULE IS SEEN IN RIGHT LUNG UPPER ZONE." Dr.Please tell me is it serious problem or not.I am old asthmetic patient. Sanjay Srivastava Lucknow.UP-India
Excellent Dr, can we approach for online consultation? Thanks
I am worried because my mother has lungs nodules 😢😢
Thank you. Most honest video i have seen.
Could you do a segment on pneumonic-like adenocarcinoma and lepdic adenocarcinoma?
I have a few nodules all between 4-5mm in size but one of my nodules is spiculated. I’ve read that such nodules are almost always malignant?
Yo he seem to be great guy smart and a great doctor
Yeah I got diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma and sent to a surgeon to do a lobectomy and now I have to wait almost 2 months for him to remove the lobe. Crazy
Can you find another Doctor? That’s what I would do if I were you. Investigate your insurance to find another Doctor perhaps with another institution that will listen and treat you with urgency.
I’m in Canada and scheduled for my CT scan on November 8 which will be almost eight weeks and then I have to wait for the results if it’s cancer then there’s the referral and waiting for an appointment a biopsy and treatment (hopefully)
I had a large nodual melanoma, it was deep, it was bleeding, had surgery, then had a pet scan, the doctor said it was lung cancer…no I never smoked…had been going to immunotherapy…lot fun that was….yes recode cat scan showed it had not grown….yes I keep wondering how long, I know the doctor doesn’t have a crystal ball, but he won’t tell me how long I have….yes I prepaid my funeral, had my marker put down in the cemetery, had a will and a trust set up for my kids….they are 52 and 51 yrs old….I just wish I knew what the oncologist thinks I have….I am 75 yrs old, so that works against me.
Realised that oncologists don’t tell a cancer patient anything,that is so wrong.When I had breast cancer I had an appointment with the oncologist and it was a complete waste of time.
I have a 1.8 cm pulmonary nodule on my right lung should they do a CT biopsy? I have a pass history of HER+2+ Breast cancer on my left Breast back in 2007 it spread 2 of my lymph node's on the left armpit & pre cancer cell's I also had cervical cancer in my 20's !! I am 52
I went to try to get zephyr values last week they mentioned it nodule small I thought oh shit was cancer no value but they said they want to wait 3 months then do a CT scan again but they didn't get the disk to run a statra scan which tells them which lung is the most likely to get valve in but doctor told me when test comes back and if the valve are not In when they want to get valve in they might do it soon I have sever copd stack air hard to do anything I'm praying I'll get valves and better quality of life I'll let you know what happened
33 dislikes? What's not to like, this doctor seems pretty clued up to me. It took me two years here in the UK to get a CT scan to then discover I have blood clots in the lung, a 7mm nodule in the left lung, an aneurysm near the spleen and a swollen right side of the heart.
Those dislikes come from miserable people who only want to hear; what they want to hear.
I had my prostate removed in December 2021
1 lymph node tested positive for Cancer out of 15 removed. All my scans and MRIs, CT and PET-MRI
show nothing but I have a ner of < 7mm nodules, most under 5mm
I just had a lung biopsy "just in case" . The Dr's. At MD Anderson says it "probably isn't the prostate cancer but want to make sure
Had it done Friday, now wait 3-5 business days to get results. It's going to be the longest week of my life.
How did it go?
@@aracelivenegas3797 it's the metastatic lung cancer. Latest CT scan shows "many" nodules are shrinking by about 50%. While that's good, that they are reacting to lupron, it's bad that there are many of them. I was hoping it would only be a couple of big ones and the rest would be benign. Does seem like there are also many that are benign but it looks like I just have to hope that they come up with a cure before the Lupron stops working in 3 years plus or minus. Otherwise the odds are against me being around to see grandchildren.
@@aracelivenegas3797 that's rude how you asked him and didn't respond
@@captaintomst so sorry. Your comment about grandchildren really got to me. Healing prayers for you.
You said metastatic lung cancer. So from the prostate cancer?
May God bless you and heal you.
while I was having my aortic root repair (pre-aneurysm) the surgeon told me he removed a nodule from my chest wall, but there was no biopsy, so maybe the surgeon could tell it was small and unimportant, I hope.
HOW CAN I SEE THIS Dr???
I had nodules in my lungs and it was microscopic polyaangits
bilateral diffuse reticular nodular opacities noted
Chest X Ray
Pls help
Seen within a week,ha ha. Been 3 months. Got an appointment with a pulmanoligist in a month today. 6 nodules all under 11mm. Possibly involving cavassular lymph nodes too (6mm). Little apprehensive.
Ive got a 3mm and a 4mm in my upper right lobe. I also have had weight loss and trouble swallowing. Im 36. Im getting another xray in 30 days to see whats happening. Wish me luck. Im also a high risk patient. I know they're small, but there's mutiple ones and i have symptoms.
I’m having lung problems now,already had COPd this is something different
Having lung surgery the post surgery is horrible had robotic surgery in November,still having symptoms in the area of ribs even breast,no cancer,it could last up to a year.
25F smoker with family history of lung cancer.
My Drs found 2 nodules, one in each lung (3mm and 4 mm). That was in July, I switched doctors for unrelated reasons and within a few days of having a new doctor she set me up with a follow up CT and added ‘multiple pulmonary nodules’ to my chart. I had forgotten all about the lung nodules but now I’m a bit curious. Going in for the CT scan on the 30th 🤷🏻♀️
What happened
How'd you doing
@@alissasefcik1651 she hasn't answered us back but in November I was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer.doing chemotherapy and radiation..wow it's horrible
@@tinalab7682 Sending you love and healing!! ❤️❤️
@@melindaunknown6411 thank you so much
I have one nodule and I’ve had 2 broncs
I wish he was my doctor. In my opinion, most doctors exaggerate the severity of the progression, diagnosis whatever procedure they are publishing is the one they recommend. had dime sized mole removed, no history of cancer in my family, and right away, need CT, then MRI, then PET (which I refused because, rest assured, doctor will immediately see tumors i n brain) I have started immunotherapy, first treatment went ok, but the second I have side effects, I am ceasing treatment. I am so skeptical of doctors, this one seems great however
How does this effect Sarcoidosis?
I hate my doctor now. Why can’t I find one like him.
