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.

hmm, so your doctor recommended surgery, at a 12% chance of cancer? Well, I do know the kind of nodule is extremely important - i have 7 nodules (which had doubled in size over 8 years, but bstayed steady this past full year), across all lobes, that are all ground glass, all contained within margins
If there is a speck of difference or movement toward solid we will increase CT to 3months and, depending, do robot-assisted targeted radiation. i will check on the BIODESIX.
