CT scan found tiny pulmonary nodules

Hello, I just got my PET scan results and my dr. commented that I should have a more specific CT scan of my lungs, as he thought that the 3 and 5 mm nodules were histoplasmosis, spores from blackbird droppings. I showed no other PA had spread, so I'm not worried and will get another CT scan in the future just to put my mind at ease.

@drcopp Wife/caregiver here just to say that I had what looked like, on x rays, a salt shaker had been sprinkled on my lungs, according to the radiologist and primary care doctor. It turns out to be histoplasmosis from bird droppings in the downtown area where my office was at the time. I never developed any symptoms from the histoplasmosis as far as I know.
