Multiple lung nodules: Might they be noncancerous? What next?

@felix536- You are getting very sophisticated testing already. Multiple lung lesions are all primary nodules that seem to begin as ground glass. What I would love is a test that would tell if the nodules are cancerous and should be treated, so others can be left alone! I have had a slew of nodules that have come and gone, and many little thingies hanging around, just taking up space.
Will you please join us in the Multifocal group?

PET/CT Scan. $10k test. They can see cancer areas if there are any.
I am lung RADS category 2. 5 nodules under 6 mm. Ground glass opacity upper left lobe. Scared. Long time smoker.

I have a ground glass lesion, and the Oncology Dr (specializes in Nodules!!) said biopsy is impossible as they are lacey along the edges and hard to get tissue from. They are watching it; I return in June. The followup PET scan showed an axillary lymph node issue, though, and not the lesion. I had the lymph node "punch" biopsied a couple months ago but now the Dr wants an excision biopsy where they remove it. I have to arrange with the GP. Having another followup thyroid CT.
