Lung nodules & scared!

Hi @bartlett36, welcome to Connect.
It must be so frustrating to have many symptoms, positive test results and no answers.

You'll notice that I moved your message to an existing discussion in the Lung Health group called:
- Lung nodules & scared! https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lung-nodules-scared/
I think you appreciate connecting with @pattymac @llwortman @windwalker and others in this discussion. I encourage you to read through the past posts.

Nodules on your lungs do not necessarily mean that you have lung cancer. Here is some information about lung nodules; according to this article by Mayo Clinic “most lung nodules are noncancerous (benign).” Read more here: http://mayocl.in/2hf0oJm

Since the follow up CT scan shows the same nodule and a new one, what is the next step? Are you going for more tests?

thank you so much for your help. My primary care doctor told me i need to have another ctscan in 4months the radiologist suggested 3-6months so my doctor decided to make it in the middle at 4 she did not mention any more testing other than that
