Is a Spiculated lung nodule always malignant?

I am so sorry that you have this worry. I have had multiple lung nodules one of which was 4 mm in 2017 in a CT scan. Another scan in 2019 showed it was the same. An incidental ct scan in March of this year showed that it was now 1.2cm semisolid spiculated very suspicious for cancer. Dr. Did not want to do biopsy because of my age and comorbidities. He did a pet scan and could not rule out cancer. He opted for SBRT every other day for five days. It was not difficult at all. I am now waiting or the three month post scan to see how it went. It is the waiting which is difficult. I wish you the best.

After the SBrT radiation treatments, how did they affect you? Did you feel more tired than usual, any change in appetite or bowel habits?
I’m asking because I am facing the radiation treatments very soon. I’d like to have an idea what to expect. I’m 79 & my lungs are not healthy enough to do a biopsy. My module was 1.8 cm. When detected three weeks ago.
