@lhatfield96 Is this another finding from your CT scan? Have you seen the pulmonologist yet for an interpretation of the findings based on your overall health and other conditions?
Hilar nodes and calcifications are usually "artifacts" of prior infections. By themselves, even with your GGO, they would not normally be worrisome, unless accompanied by symptoms like significant shortness of breath, fever, fatigue, weight loss and coughing.
Are you at high risk of lung cancer due to smoking, exposure to a dangerous environment (like mining , pesticides, Agent Orange, silica dust or other toxins)? Do you have COPD, Asthma, Emphysema, Bronchiectasis or another lung disorder?
My CT scans are messy - from a lifetime of Asthma, exposures and repeated pneumonia. If you read them without knowing my history, you might say "Uh-oh!" but my radiologists and pulmonologist just say "CT stable, no new areas of concern, no new evidence of infection."
What does the pulmonologist say?
I see him Friday. Wrecking myself with anxiety. I smoke but not heavily and I know I have to quit. I just pray it’s not too late.
