New groundglass airspace opacity found

Posted by hch559 @hch559, 6 hours ago

I just finished 2 VATS surgeries on right lung and left lung within a year, the 6 month new CT in last week found a new ground glass airspace opacity along the peripheral aspect of the auterolatoral left lower lobe, portion more consolidative.
I will have to do another CT in 3 months, if it is still there and the size increases, I will have to do biopsy.
I was wondering if anyone else here has the same situation? I meant after 2 surgeries to remove the nodules, this new GGO shows up. I am more concern "the portion more consolidative."

hi @hch559 2 lung surgeries in a year had to be challenging. what kind of lung cancer do you have? was it the same cancer in both lungs? have you had any systemic treatment like chemo or targeted therapy?
