My husband has 7 nodules in his lungs. Only the right middle lobe NOT affected. Nodules are 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and a solid 11mm. Top right lobe has 2 nodules >10mm. One of which is solid.
PET/CT scan will be scheduled once insurance approves. But, he only has a cough and allergy symptoms. His nodules grew within 90days from 6mm to 11mm.

@caregiverwife , I'm sorry to hear that you are both facing this uncertainty, and the stress that goes along with any health issue. It sounds like his team is on top of this; rescanning after three months and ordered the PET scan.
When I've faced similar situations, I try to focus on what I know, not the speculation that's swirling in my mind. It helps me from jumping to the worst-case scenario.
Our lungs are sensitive and react to many things. Are you working with a pulmonologist? Have they talked about trying to biopsy the largest nodule? Have his CT's shown any lymph node swelling?
