Is a Spiculated lung nodule always malignant?

@astaingegerdm I am glad to see your report that radiation worked for you, as it also did for me. It was good that we avoided surgery. Very encouraging that your regular CTs just show scarring and nothing new. How often do you have the CTs?

@junerose42 I had the first follow up CT 4 months after CyberKnife. Then about 6 months after that in July this year, 2026. In September I had a heart scan that also imaged the lungs; my pulmonologist said that since it looks good for the lungs we can wait until June 2027 for the next CT rather than having one in January next year. I am hoping that if all is still well, I can graduate to annual scans.

I had CTs every 4 months for 2 years, now it’s going to be 6 months since the last one.
I decided on radiation since surgery was not superior in my case. Recovery from surgery would be tougher in my mind. I only noticed fatigue after radiation.
And brittle ribs!
Broke ribs on both sides separately from minor injury.
