it is indeed adenocarcinoma, in the non smallcell group. Yes there is debate about how these nodules are dealt with these days, with an emphasis placed on quality of life. I have read the staging and grading that is currently being used to assess treatment or waiting with repeated CT's., mine falls in the 'do nothing for now' range, relying on 7-month CT scans to assess changes and change course if need be. They are low-grade and primarily groundglass at this point. My doc indicates the nodules are too small to be picked up on a PET scan. l am 77, these nodules were first seen 7 years ago, they have doubled since then. I too am active, still working, involved. The docs do not want to change that at this point, so the protocol these days , confirmed by much of my sleuthing is to keep a close eye via CT scans - this is based on size of nodule, quality of nodule (groundglass versus solid, etc), that they are all contained at present and considered small in medical terms - 9mm, 11mm, 13mm.....I have no other chronic conditions. I know this would have been immediate surgery in earlier times, typically removing the entire lobe, not a wedge resection. I am appreciate we have come that far.....I will find the thread that Merry has begun. Thank you for your response and for letting me know about others with these same modules. And adding your knowledge. It is deeply appreciated..
