Yesterday I saw a cardio/thoracic surgeon regarding my 9mm nodule in a middle lobe..Where it is located makes a biopsy impossible..It is spiculated with a solid component... I have never smoked..I have e-asthma..he advised he feels there is a 30% to 50% chance of it being cancer..It has been monitored over 5 years and grows about 1 mm a year..For now we both agree to continue to have Ct scans which is now 6 months away..it is what he said he would do if in my position as well..surgery always poses a risk and would certaintly take it out if that was my strong position...For now I am comfortable to wait and see if it grows over the next year..
