Hi @diana5, I hope you are doing well. You may even be post-surgery by now, if all went as planned. I've been getting regular CT scans for over 3 years now, and I'm often surprised at what shows up. I've had nodules on my adrenal gland show up and then disappear a few scans later. I hope your nodules are nothing of concern. Did you have the surgery?, how are you doing with recovery?

Hi, I did had my surgery as planned on the 20th, and everything went well. My dr tried to do a section, but at the end went with the original plan of removing my left lower lobe. He was afraid of not taking enough lymph nodes. I was released the day after (less than 36 hrs since going in), because I had no fever, or any issues, and I’ve been home since. I’m doing my breathing exercises, and trying to take it slow, but my personality struggles with that. We have done nothing with the nodule on my adrenal gland, but the plan is to do an MRI soon, to determine what it is. I’ve been told by another dr, and radiologist, that if there is fat in it, it’s nothing to worry about. So I’m hoping when I get the MRI, the nodule is a fat girl/boy, ha ha. Thank you for checking on me! Really appreciate it. ❤️
