Is a Spiculated lung nodule always malignant?

My husband is 77 with Myelofibrosis and we just learned his nodule middle lobe grew 4 mm from January to April and is spiculated. After pneumonia infection is cleared will have a PET scan. I wish they removed it when it was small and harmless. I am so worried for him, we have been married 38 years, he is coughing constantly and he is inpatient with IV antibiotics to clear the pneumonia but this one is so much worse than the last one he had.

Hello @jeni2167, Between the Myelofibrosis and repeated pneumonia, his body is likely working hard to recover. Are his doctors giving you a sense as if the nodule may be due to the pneumonia? Even spiculated nodules can be harmless, they aren't always cancerous. How is your husband feeling now? Is his cough improving?
