3rd CT scan of lungs

Hi al6- when they scanned my lungs the first time I had a spiculated nodule that was adenocarcinoma. I also had many calcified nodules and a 3 mm and a 4 mm solid nodules. I was told I had Valley fever at some point but we don’t know when. Anyway, those two solid nodules have been stable for many, many years, so far. My surgeon and pulmonologist aren’t worried about them. After my CT scan they had me have a PET scan. The only thing that “lit up”, and barely, was the spiculated nodule. I had an EBUS bronchoscopy first to get cells and lymph to check and no other cancer cells were found in other areas. They then did the surgery on that spiculated nodule, left upper lung- Segmentectomy- and then biopsy on it after removal. It was about 8 mm at first and 9 years later was at 22 mm. I had to get scans every 6 months after, for two years. No changes in the tiny solid modules. I have “graduated” to scans once a year. Our lungs create nodules for infections, inflammation, etc. you should ask your PCP to set you up with a Pulmonologist who can look at your scans. They definitely know more about your lungs and reading CT scans. Good Luck and I pray for a good outcome for you.🙏🙏🙏
