I am in that same situation. I am in watchful waiting with every-six-month CT followups. I have multiple pure ground glass nodules. Becuase of their size/shape/opacity/edges, the surgeon and radiation oncologist have set a path of 6-month CT's for 2 years; anything suspicious arises and we switch to 3-month CD's. treatment would be robot-assisted targeted radiation, great strides are being made in this area.

I have also joined the Lungevity site and found some good information there. I have found this forum at Mayoconnect to be be more active so far. But I think its good to do your homework and stay educated and informed as a part of managing any health issue. Wishing you good health!

We tried a blood biopsy when a couple of my GGNs began turning solid. The outcome was negative as they are too slow growing to shed much DNA or RNA. It took another 4 years before the solid part became large enough to biopsy.

I love the Lungevity Foundation. If you decide to go to the 2025 Hope Summit, send me a pm, it would be great to meet you there.
