@ashscott1012 thank you for updating us. if it were me, I would get a second opinion from a different pulmonologist. both the size of the nodule and it being spiculated are concerning. I hope your current pulmonologist is right, but if she isn't, 3 months is a long time to go without starting treatment. when I was first diagnosed, the radiologist said my nodules were stable, but my pulmonologist insisted on a biopsy and she was right. so sometimes doctors see different things looking at the same scans.

@mamajite A second opinion definitely couldn't hurt. I will bring that up to my husband to see if he would be willing to go for one. I'd rather have that sense of peace just to be certain. She showed us both scans and said she does see spiculation with infections at times and is confident that's what he's dealing with since he's also asymptomatic and has put on more weight. I will definitely bring up a second opinion just to be sure. Thank you for the advice!
