Did your doctor say why? Do you have any respiratory issues? I would be concerned. Having said that, when my lung nodules were first discovered due to chronic coughing, they wanted to biopsy and I refused because the only way to reach them was by cutting my chest and lungs wide open. They were baffled by the pattern and guessed either something unusual and benign or metastatic cancer coming from outside the lung but where was the primary cancer? I didn’t want major surgery if benign. If metastatic, I figured too late. This went on for 12 years with most guesses benign. The 50+ tumors were slowly growing. Finally, having breast cancer for the second time they insisted on a lung biopsy but could now reach the largest tumor from the outside with a needle biopsy which was more reasonable to me. It turned out to be neuroendocrine cancer NET. Unrelated to the breast cancer. Typical carcinoids. More rare. Luckily slow growing. I also have the very rare DIPNECH which explained the unusual number of tumors and pattern. They destroyed the largest tumor through microwave ablation to prevent spreading. Others will be destroyed when they reach 2 cm. Mist are 1 cm+ right now. I’ve been taking octreotide injections for 2.5 years. Really improved my chronic coughing and shortness of breath I had for 30 years that was blamed on allergies and asthma.

How many tumors do you have? How large? What led to having scans?
