hi @wtr - congrats on your good report! so there's an "algorithm" that the docs use to track lung nodules. if your nodules don't grow after 2-5 years (depending on some other criteria), then I think you can usually stop doing the follow up scans. you can read more about it here:

@mamajite: this article really explains a lot and helps explain the continued surveillance. Thank you so much!
