Lung nodule... Reassuring results but still anxious

@yulia87, sorry for the confusion. I was wondering how she was feeling about not having another CT for 6 months? Some people have them even more often than that.
Then, if her next scan is clear, hopefully she can have some input on waiting a year for the next scan after that. It's good to be prepared, but she doesn't need to face that question yet.

The doctor said he didn’t even feel that follow up was needed at all based on all other results. The only reason he scheduled the 6 months CT was because of the “possible 1 mm size increase” on last CT, but that was not confirmed by PET scan, which came back as same size of 8 mm. Based on nodule presentation, the doctor thinks mild speculation was caused by severe Covid pneumonia she had back in 2021 that stretched the tissue slightly. So it has been stable in size for the past 3 years and he feels like frequent CT radiation exposure is not necessary in the case.
