Thank you for your reply. I am glad to hear yours are stable. I suppose its just a waiting game for me now. I will follow up with my results whenever I find out more. Do you mind if I ask if you got the ct scan as part of lung cancer screening or was yours an incidental finding because you were being scanned for something else. I had a ct scan for coronary calcium scoring two years ago which states in the report NO SUSPICIOUS PULMONARY NODULES. And then I just had my first LDCT lung cancer screening (because I am a former smoker who fits the criteria for being screened) and here we are with four nodules unfortunately.

My CT was for something else. I wasn't eligible lung cancer screening because I quit a long time ago. I don't think an additional followup was suggested.

I have 6 nodules found incidentally when I had a chest x-ray for a respiratory infection and something 'suspicous' appeared. So I had a followup CT and it showed 6 ground-glass nodules. I met with a lung surgeon and radiation oncologist, they agreed we do nothing for now. I had had a CT scan 8 years prior and these nodules had doubled in size since then. I had a follow-up CD 6 months later and there was No change whatsoever; i have another in a month, we are doing 6-month CT's for 2 years; if anything. changes we will do robotically assisted targeted radiation... kind of nerve-wracking but because they are all fully ground glass that is the current best practice, waiting and doing surveillance. hope this helps some.
