Ask your doctor to request a NODIFY LUNG test. It’s a test by a lab called BIODESIX. You can go to their website and it will tell you about it. I had a nodule they were watching for a couple years. Had the NODIFY test and it said 12% chance of cancer. Long story shortened, doc said surgery anyway and it was a benign hamartoma. Several of them. The test, in my case, was accurate. No copay for Medicare and Medicaid. Let us know what you decide.

Hi again Sura, Im glad to hear your nodules are stable at your latest scan. I wanted to follow up with mine too.. I just had my first repeat scan at 6 months yesterday and there has been no change in my four nodules either and no new nodules either. They recommend another scan in 6 months and then annually every year after if no change... (ongoing annual surveillance with low dose ct scan as part of screening program for former smokers) I did however had another finding which was a surprise.. it said "low attenuation masses on liver, largest measuring 5.1 cm. In retrospect these were present on prior scan but indeterminate. Possibly hemangiomas. Recommend MRI of abdomen with contrast dye." Obviously I am going to have an MRI soon, but I am perplexed as to why this wasn't mentioned on my CT scan report six months ago if they were there then? Here we go down the scanxiety rabbit hole again! :((((
