Is a Spiculated lung nodule always malignant?

@milana, Sending my best, good luck with your recovery! It sounds like you have good care. You are correct a 5-7 day hospital stay in the US is nearly unheard of unless there are complications.
Hoping you receive good news from your final pathology reports too.

Hi Lisa @lls8000
I saw my surgeon yesterday and had the pathology result yesterday confirming it is not a lung cancer. I was releaved, I could not beleave it. As I mentioned before, it was a spiculated nodule of 12-13 mm, that lid up on the PET scan, with an SUVMax was 2.1. The report states that piste is suspecting to be a Pulmonary Nodular Lymphoid Hyperplasia, a rare desease that sometimes shows spiculated nodules on CT scan. Other piste is a marginal zone lymphoma ( MALT lymphoma) . It is now sent for a second opinion in a institite that is more spesialized in pathology for lymph. So, good news it is not a lung cancer, bad news is, still not out of the woods.
