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.

Hi Sura, Thank you for your reply and the information on your nodule surveillance. I agree it is nerve wracking and I just started this process! It seems yours is a many years long process with times of stability. I guess that's a good thing. Have you ever had any one of them biopsied or done one of the liquid biopsy blood testing biomarkers? I've read they can give a better idea of the malignancy probability on nodules that can't be biopsied using invasive methods. Have your doctors given you much information about these fully ground glass nodules over the years? Mine are fully ground glass as well except one small part solid one. I am trying to learn as much as I can about them. I go see a pulmonologist in November. Thank you again for your reply. Wishing you good health!
