Is a Spiculated lung nodule always malignant?

@darwin66 , I'm not sure that I would be comfortable with a long wait-and-see period. Each patient's tolerance for risk is different. I tend to be more analytical and want data and facts. Have you been able to have a PET scan to see how much uptake there might be to the nodule? Are you able to access second opinion?

I will get a second opinion soon and ask about removal options. Unfortunately, many doctors don't take our concerns seriously and are not willing to take our wishes to account . The PET scan was already declined by my previous doctor, as it apparently won't show meaningful results for nodules under 1cm. However, I believe it would still be beneficial to have the scan to potentially rule out metastatic disease or other suspicious findings.
It's very frustrating and hope for better care with the new doctor.
