It is 14 mm and yes I had a pet scan..but they don't know if it's a graduloma or cancer..no symptoms.. they did a CT scan because I had a little blood in phlegm and chest was sore to breath and cough. 1st CT show the lump and lymph nodes but the 2nd only showed the lump ..so they thought I had pneumonia..so then came the pet scan..it just seems drastic for an uncertain diagnosis.. I'm so scared to do and not do.

Hi Patty, @pattythompson , Oh my!, these decisions are so difficult.
I have stage IV lung cancer, but I also have a fungal nodule that isn't cancer. Our lungs react to all sorts of things.
I like what guyjeff123 asked. If possible, a second opinion may be helpful. Is robotic biopsy an option? It can sometimes help with hard to reach nodules. Also, have they been watching this nodule over time?
