Incidental lower lung module found

It would certainly be worth calling a few pulmonologists and asking for a consult, citing the two CT scans with different findings.

I agree that going back to the PCP seems like an unnecessary step UNLESS the Pulmonologist told the PCP exactly what they need.

I went straight to a Thoracic Surgeon. First time I was monitored for 4 years. Multiple scan the first year in case it was a fast growing cancer. 3 months, 6, 9 and st 12 months. Then yearly after. 2017 I was released. But recently found a new larger one incidently on a Calcium CT Heart Scan. Heart scan was fine, but new problem with Lung. Did a Full Chest CT and she thinks my 1.4 cm x 1.1 cm may be Carcinoid/Neuroendocrine because it’s a smooth nodule with no other characteristics. Tuesday going for a FDG PET Scan to see if anything else lights up.
