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

You have been so helpful! This is all new to me, although I have been through it with an autoimmune disease. I have another CT in March, and feeling good about the team. I am a little Dr fatigued, but keeping on with appointments. I'm going to PCP next week to arrange for axillary lymph node excision (it showed on petscan, where the ground glass did not!) I have I found several articles, not peer reviewed, linking thyroid nodules to low Vit D. hmmm.

Good morning Mary- I'm sorry to be a bit late in responding. I'm struggling with a migraine that won't leave me alone. I'm so glad that you are so quick on your feet to deal with each step that needs to be dealt with. It's difficult to be organized when there are things coming at you like a scud missile. I love my team too. One thing that makes me feel good about them is that they listen to me and include me in decisions and the reasons. They are also open-minded to ideas "outside" the box.
I have learned that the internet can be a scary place for information. I think that basing our judgments on peer-reviewed tests is the best way to go. I think that discussing a link between thyroid nodules and vitamin D with your new PCP is a smart decision since there have been lots of studies that show a link:

Have you seen these peer-reviewed studies?
I know what you mean about doctor fatigued. What I do, when I can get away with it and when there is nothing "urgent" going on is to schedule appointments further apart or try to get more than one appointment on the same day.
Have a wonderful New Year and I really do look forward to talking to you soon.
Merry
