research i did on my irregular shaped nodules ( suspicious of spiculation ) says spiculated nodules can be benign in many cases. hope so for you and me.
most nodules are not cancer even spiculated ones
. even non calcified nodules are usuaually benign. its the waiting while scans ate done every six months that is the worst. i personally have stopped worrying because the largest nodule is stable and nay be getting smaller ( i have several stable nodules) a very good sign. growth and change in shape are some of the things doctors watch out for. if they become calcified that is a very promising sign. good luck 😃

Hello Linpvc! First of all, I wanted to thank you for sharing your experience all this time. Since I arrived at this forum (a few days ago) I have been following your updates, hoping that everything goes well and sending you good energy. The fact that the nodule has shrunk and the others, for the most part, are calcified, is certainly a very good sign. I am very happy. I have felt your anguish and uncertainty in each update, especially because of the location of the nodule that you are monitoring and the difficulties associated with the biopsy. I really trust that during these months it will continue to get smaller and will only be a bad memory, something more like a life lesson. Thank you for your good wishes for all of us. Mom and I are still waiting for the authorization for the PET-CT, which we can probably do during the week of 03/17 (just the week of her birthday 😪). If it is not bothersome, could I ask you for information about solid spiculated nodules and their possible benign etiology? I have seen that in the case of ground glass nodules it is often the case, but I have not found any encouraging information about solid nodules measuring 16 mm x 16 mm with irregular/spiculated margins. Any information is welcome to help me endure this wait and all the anguish that it entails. Thank you for everything and I wish you the best! I will be thinking about it.
