What are the chances that the 5mm nodule found in my CT scan is cancerous?

What are the chances that the 5mm nodule found in my CT scan is cancerous?

It was found two days ago after I had gone to the ER for chest pain/minor trouble breathing by coincidence and not believed to be the cause of either symptom. They want to give me another CT scan in 6 months. About a year ago, a doctor had told me I had "thickening in one of my lobes" but that it was so minor that it was considered to be nothing.

Should I be concerned? Are both things (thickening in lobe and nodule) connected? I'm kind of anxious about it, and would highly appreciate some expert opinion.

Thank you for your time.
