Small lung nodules: How often should they be monitored?

No oxygen. I practice Bikram yoga and try to exercise daily. I try to eat as healthy as possible. I try to think in the present,, every once in awhile I think of how I don't really have any treatment that will help me if needed, and that scares me. So I'm just cautious. I just turned 40 and my body feels healthy it's just my darn lungs! I'm wondering if anyone else has had a talc procedure to fix a collapsed lung and had negative side effects?

@fracturedd - Good morning. What an inspiration you are! Research and breakthroughs for lung diseases and cancer have come a long way but still have miles to go. We just have to take the best care of ourselves that we can and hope for the best. I feel the same way that you do, I feel terrific but when I go full steam ahead my lungs pull me back to reality.
The talc procedure actually uses talc powder to help prevent the build up of fluid. : https://www.uwhealth.org/uw-carbone-cancer-center/palliative-lung-procedures/11037
When did you have this procedure?
