What is ground glass on a lung CT scan?
Lung Health | Last Active: Dec 4, 2023 | Replies (99)Comment receiving replies
What does it mean if I have a 5 mm and a 3 mm right upper lobe pulmonary nodules. And a mild central groundglass changes throughout the lungs may be due to poor inspiration or early congestive changes is what my ct scan says. I’m a 43 year old man if it would happen to be cancer does it mean I’m going to die

@jerrypjr1980, I'm so sorry to hear that you are dealing with the stress of this.
Please know that most nodules are NOT cancer. If these are cancer, they are very small at this point, and there are very promising outcomes for cancers that are found at early stage.
What brought you to have a CT? Were you having symptoms, or were they found on a screening test? You're likely young for screening.
What are the next steps that your doctor has planned for you? Monitoring with another scan in a few months?
