Hi, Msmel. Welcome to Connect.
To some degree you must be relieved that you pushed for further investigation of the lung nodules given your husband's family and personal history and risk factors. Here's a brief response from a Mayo Clinic expert Q&A about lung nodules

You may also wish to read the discussion in the Lung Health group where you'll meet @kwilbur @pattymac @kaystrand @rayhastings and others

Msmel, What led your husband to having a lung CT scan? What questions have you prepared to ask the pulmonologist?

He’s been having pain in his right side that has been pretty bad with no relief . He originally went to have his chest X-ray and that when they found the original nodule as 8mm which we now assume was the 13mm which is what prompted the chest CT.
