Can anyone tell me what this means?

I had an A-typical pneumonia in 2002, treated at san diego veterans medical center. They decided I have COPD. Fine. I recently went for a CT Scan of my chest in Boise, at the VA Medical Center and now they are reviewing films. I picked up my medical records and they state:" Small blebs athe lung apices. A few calcified granulomas in each lung field, minimal increased density in both lower lung fields predominately posteriorly. Is possible this could prepresent minimal pneumonia or atelectasis. HERE IS WHAT I AM REALLY NERVOUS/SCARED about:
"Minimal lymph nodes in aortopulmonary window area, could be inflammatory. Lymph Node measuring 11 CM in size, and a 1.7 CM node in the right hilar area. These could represent inflammatory nodes. AM I CRAZY? 11CM is almost 8" - can lymph nodes get this big? Also, if I am moving because of moldy apartment, would that explain the lymph nodes? Va is moving at a snail's pace, can't believe this, but if anyone can tell me anything regarding this diagnosis please, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Cindy

I know some medical agencies give people a hard time about these flms. I just set them start and tell them that yes I'm responsible for these films, basically within a 5 year period (Florida) if medical concerns need them with this period and I can't produce them or if I have damaged them the of course I must pay for them out of my own pocket not my Insurance company because they won't cover the expense if damaged real early or they get lost or stolen.
