NSCLC Lung Cancer: Ground glass on 1 year scan, should I be concerned?

I haven’t had any infections. The Dr. said it could be nothing or it could be something. Instead of 6 month ct will do 3months to see if there is any change. Then we will go from there.

@wlgiles- Good morning. Sometimes ground glass that has a part of it that is solid is a cause for cautious following. Just 6 months ago I had 2 lesions but one was still pure gg (ground glass) and the other had changed and had become part solid. Recently a PET scan showed that the second one also had changed. These changes might not seem like much but with lung cancer the sooner a mass is treated the less lung tissue is damaged or loss.

I am glad that your doctor is being conservative and reduced the amount of time in between scans. It will benefit you the most.

Your lesion is only a .05" so it's small and this usually means that it's in its infancy, early. Do you have a list going of further questions to ask your doctor?
