Welcome @azmn, while your nodule is small, I understand that your doctors are concerned because it is growing. Providers are generally more worried about larger lung nodules and those that grow over time.

Lung nodules are often a topic of discussion in the Lung Health group. I'd like to invite @merpreb @trip03 @felix536 into this discussion to share their thoughts and experiences with lung nodules.

Denise, I'm a bit confused about the timeline of your message. Are you currently waiting for 3 months for the next scan? Or are they suggesting it's time for surgery because it is growing?

I just had a scan ( 5 scans total and each time it’s growing) and I see the doctor this Wednesday.

I am not sure why I was told it was not cancer. However if the Fluconazole didn’t stop the growing, I would have it removed? If it’s not cancer why just repeat scans? Why perform such an invasive surgery?
