Is a Spiculated lung nodule always malignant?

My neuroendocrine tumor was coincidentally discovered when an x-ray looking for something else showed a mass in my right lung with spiculation. Biopsy and PET scan confirmed it was an NET in the middle lobe and also a cancerous lymph node in the upper lobe. The middle lobe and bottom part of the top lobe were removed with robot-assisted surgery. It’s three and a half months later, and I am feeling close to fully recovered and hoping the six month scan will find nothing but good news.

Hello @celeste46, I'm glad to hear that you are feeling well three months post-surgery. That will give others hope too.
In case you haven't found it, there is a NET group also: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/neuroendocrine-tumors-nets/
Hoping your next scan goes well!
