@joyb1975, Thanks for sharing your update. Discussions with a pulmonologist is a good next step. Getting the pathology of the nodule is the only way to know for sure what these are. Here's a link to an explanation of the usual procedure that is used, bronchoscopy.

I've had this procedure several times, and it is generally well tolerated.

@lls8000 thank you! Hope your doing well. My D-Dimer lab test came back and it was almost 8000!!! The CT did rule out a pulmonary embolism. Still coughing. They also confirmed bronchitis. Chest tightness. I have a f/u with my primary this Thursday....
