I have a 1.3 cm. Nodule in my left lung close t blood vessels er do I the don't want to biopsy. It is spiculated. What does that en? I get a CT every 6 months. The same radiation ooogist who told me if I had radiation and it wasn't cancer it would scr my lungs, actually said to have it 6 months ago. I have another CT in just. Since it had not grown, I didn't have radiation, so we will see. I also have a few small ground glass nodules to small to biopsy. What are they? And what is spiculated?

@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.
