How To Test If Tumours In The Right Lung And Colon Can Turn Cancerous?
Upper abdomen very painful and swell, distended for 3 weeks, no pain on lower abdomen at all until appendix ruptured very suddenly. Had surgery, however surgical oncologist is putting me through ct scans finding many tumors, in right lung adrenal glands have tumors as well as colon, soon to have biopsy. Also checking breasts with mammogram and ultrasound. Does she suspect cancer somewhere in my body? I am 56 years old and have lupus.

you seem to have lesions in lungs and other organs. Definite diagnosis of malignancy can be made only by biopsy. Colon cancer can spread to lungs but lung cancer doesn't show masses in colon. If there are multiple lesions all over with good patient wellbeing, cancer is unlikely.
