New nodule
I had a left upper lobe lobectomy for 2 adenocarcinoma nodules and left lower lobe wedge in February 2024. The lll had aah out to the margin. A nodule was identified in that area 6 months ago 8mm. It was stable though a pet and ct until my April 14 ct. It is now 6.5 x 11 mm and more solid. My oncoligist wants me to wait until July to have a pet. I want it now. He's afraid it may be too small now but I think the mere fact he expects to grow makes me want answers now. The chances that it's malignant are very high and the sooner I know the better. I can't have more surgery and even a bronchoscopy is dangerous for me. I dont know if they'd treat this as a recurrence or a new primary. Im worried.

@mamajite I'm waiting to hear from the scheduling nurse on Monday. I hope it's the week of the 22nd or 29th.
