Is a Spiculated lung nodule always malignant?

@363, these decisions can be so difficult. Information is your best friend. I know that not all tests are conclusive, but having a clear PET scan is great news. I have lung cancer, but I also have a recent nodule that has been biopsied and is caused by a fungus. My lymph nodes are lighting up on a PET scan, but the nodule isn’t cancer.
Is your doctor recommending continued monitoring or surgery? What type of doctor are you seeing, a pulmonologist or surgeon?

Thank you so much for your reply..I am so sorry to hear you have Lung Cancer, and the lymph nodes lighting up on a PET scan..
I am extremely fortunate as I am seeing both a Pulmonogist who has been been monitoring this nodule for 4 years and when it became 9mm and mostly solid when it started out as ground glass at 3mm she referred me to a Surgeon..
He advised 30 to 50% chance of Cancer and we both decided to monitor for an additional 6 months although he would remove it at that time if I wanted it out. My CT scan is on Tuesday Feb 6 and we will see what that shows. Hoping your health issues are all addressed quickly and great results.
