MedHelp Member's Question

8mm Lung Nodules

by Rollie74, Oct 28, 2009 10:22AM

On a chest x-ray taken in May 2009 everything was normal. Due to a chronic cough another chest x-ray was taken in October 2009, where they found an 8 mm nodule in the left lower lung. Being 74 years old and otherwise in good health (never smoked in my life) is this something I should be concerned about, or should a wait and have another test done in a few month.
Thanks
