Thanks for sharing your story.
Glad they caught it early and you're doing well! Hoping for continued health for you.
Do you happen to know what kind of nodule the spiculated one was? was it solid, semi-solid, or ground-glass? My nodule is solid, and the doctors told me they typically just monitor those for about 2 years. After that, they usually determine them to be benign and stop the CT scans. But with ground-glass and semi-solid nodules, they tend to monitor for up to 5 years or more.
So I'm assuming your nodule must have been either ground-glass or semi-solid, since they were monitored for longer than 2 years.

It was also semi solid and by three years of ct scans it became solid.. I was then given a pet scan and it was definitely confirmed that it was cancer. I remember that a small nodule showed up beside the original nodule and they later determined that it was a different cancer, this scared me a lot because I had no idea you could have two different cancers in one place.
