@etb2 , it sounds like your doctor is monitoring the size of your nodules, which is good. The radiologists watch for growth or changes over time, but pathology is needed to confirm what type of cells make up the nodules. As you've heard, radiation does come with side effects, and lung scaring can be common from radiation. Our lungs are made of sensitive tissue.
