@friend777 -Thank you for your kind wishes! I am doing well! So far I am 3 years cancer free. I am an ex smoker as well. 30+ years a pack a day. Was actually 52 When my cancer was first found by CT from a car accident, but the hospital neglected to tell me or my doctor. 8mm ground glass spiculated nodule at that time with a tiny 2mm solid center. Found again in January of 2023. 9 years later at 22mm ground glass spiculated nodule solid center at 8mm. Luckily it was a slow growing adenocarcinoma. Had segmentectomy March of 2023. No lymph node involvement and not spread anywhere else. All my scans have noted the “tiny 3mm and 4mm solid nodules” and that they have been unchanged for many years. I have many nodules in my lungs because I had Valley Fever sometime in my life. (I never knew I had it). Many things cause nodules such as infections, pollution, etc. They are calcified which means my lungs/immune system fought whatever caused them. So that is why I say don’t worry until you HAVE to. You DON’T have cancer until they say you do!
