8 mm lung nodule possible malignancy: What should I do?

Please get an appointment with a pulmonologist as he/she will recommend a bronchoscopy or not. I think 8mm may be too small for biopsies, bronchoscopies so like many of us you are in the 3 month CT scan let's wait program. The nodule is currently being monitored, thank heavens and likely those tests will need to be done when it increases.

I had a nodule that also was 8mm and it was cancerous. It is not too small for it to be biopsied. I decided to skip a pulmonologist and go to a thoracic surgeon. I ended up having a lobectomy, Its now 4 years later, no reoccurrence, and I feel great!
