@hercules
I guess it happened over 3 years. It changed appearance during the 6 months prior to diagnosis.
I already had an excellent pulmonologist. He knew another one at a large cancer center. This physician performed the biopsy through bronchoscopy. I was lucky I guess that it could be reached this way. Not all nodules are able to be reached this way.
Some of the smaller nodules disappeared.
I was a smoker- stopped 45 years ago! They didn’t think it was a factor at this point.
My only advice to you is contacting a pulmonary specialist to find out how often you should be monitored. There is a protocol depending on various factors. Don’t be afraid- you are going to do the best you can!
