8 mm lung nodule possible malignancy: What should I do?

Yes, see on onologist. I had a Bronchoscopy. My biopsy revealed that Ihad a scant pulmonary adenocarcinoma to the right lung to go along with my just dianosed Esophhageal Adenocarcinoma. Seeing my onologist on Friday for a course of action. I refused surgery going with Chemo adn Raditatton Proton Therapy.

No new information yet. I am having another Chest CT at 3 months that is scheduled for mid-November. It's on my mind all the time, but I'm trying to focus on other things. I did read about the possible tests of a PET scan or possibly a biopsy. Some sources say they would do those things after finding the 11 mm nodule, but others say to do the Chest CT first. Does anyone on this thread have any information about the order of what happens?
Thanks for the inquiry, sorry I don't have anything new to tell yet. I will have more info in November.
Take care everybody.

Best wishes with your surgery. Seems you are in good hands. I had robotic segmentectomy left lower area of lung 1.5 cm nodule. Surgery went very well. Pathology was clear for lymph nodes no spread. I am 63 and my Recovery was smooth. My biggest struggle was getting comfortable to sleep. I began walking as soon as I could. I did have numbness in the left abdominal and still have some. Not very noticeable. At 8 weeks I was quite active. Now At 12 weeks I have not noticed much reduction in my lung function.

I’m scheduled for segmentectomy at Mayo on Oct. 10. 9mm nodule grew by 1 mm at ct scan last week.
My cat scans and even a negative bronchoscope with lymph tests have revealed no lymphadenopathy. I’m hoping this holds true at pathology exam following surgery.
How was recovery for segmentectomy? Does your case resemble mine in any way? Thanks.

I was blessed due to early stage 1A that my situation only required Segmentectomy removal. All tests showed no other cancer. No other treatments at this time.

Welcome @dwcar. I saw in another post that you were 12 weeks from surgery at that time. Are you having any other treatments, beside surgery?

Hi @ready2talk2000, Have you learned any more about the nodules seen on the last CT scan? Has your doctor outlined the next steps?

CT found 1.5 cm nodule and I immediately scheduled a pulmonologist specializing in lung nodules and biopsies. It was NSCLC stage 1A adenocarcinoma malignant. It was removed by robotic Segmentectomy. Best wishes with your journey.

The first 5 mm nodule was discovered when I had a chest CT in 2022 as a follow-up to a chest x-ray a month earlier that showed an opacity in an area of the chest.
The follow-up chest CT said I had a 5 mm ground-glass nodule in the right lung.
Since that time I have had 3 mo, 6 mo, and this last time I waited 12 months since things appeared to be improving. However, the 12 mo chest ct I just had Aug. 14 of this month showed two 3 mm nodules and a new 8 mm nodule.
My mom died of kidney cancer at age 53. She only lived 9 months after diagnosis.
I have a big family history of heart attacks, stroke, and cancer.
I've already been diagnosed with Stage 1 heart failure, but doing pretty well. I turn 67 this month.
I promised myself that I would never ignore anything just hoping it got better and these issues are not something I want to play around with.
Thank you so much for your reply. It does help not feeling alone in this.
Take care,
Deb
