Sub-solid nodule grew from 3.5 to 8 in a year: Wait for scan?

@dalelieberman3 , Hi Dale. The waiting can be anxiety inducing for anyone in this situation. Know that the stress that you are feeling is very common. The others here have had some very good advice. It can be difficult to get a good sample from 8 mm. If it helps, it is a good sign that the PET scan didn't show significant uptake.
Do you have a follow up appointment scheduled, possibly after the tumor board has been able to review your case?

My pulmonologist is going to call me after the tumor board meets.
One of the upsetting things for me is in the pet scan report, the radiologist says one thing in the first couple sentences, & then a paragraph down, says something diffferent.
My first thought was if it’s cancer, take it out. But I know understand maybe having to wait because of the tricky area it is to get to & that sometimes has to be bigger than 8mm.
Anyway, just hearing you respond to me brought me much comfort, so thank you!
I will come back on & report what the tomor board has to say.
