My son has enlarged lymph nodes on his heart and a 2centimeter lump on his lung.  He will have a pet scan soon and then surgery to biopsy.  He never smoked.  He has been type 1 diabetic since 12.  He has severe o c d and has fought so hard to control it.  Now this!  He is so good, it just isnt fair.  I can tell you how many people he has helped in his short 51 yrs.  nor the loved ones he has lost to unspeakable deseases.  I am so helpless to help him.  I wish I could give him some information about this condition that would help.  If it werent for the lump, I could hope it is only an infection.  I dont know what to say to him.  I wish I could be there but my husband is recovering stage 4 prostate cancer and I cant leave him alone.  I can only pray.  Please give us some hope   Thank you and god bless you.
I'm really sorry for the things currently happening to your family. A lung mass doesn't always mean cancer of the lung. There are some infections, other cancers, and some other conditions. Of course you're mostly concerned about the lymph nodes. I can never guarantee, but there are hopes that it might be a parasitical/fungal infection which can show up as lung masses. Or it can be lymphoma also a cancer with relatively better prognosis showing up in the lungs. I pray for your family to heal and hope that there isn't anything serious.
