6mm non calcified pulmonary nodule

[jfdyates]

I`VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A 6mm NODULE IN LEFT LUNG AND HAVE BEEN TOLD TO TAKE ANOTHER CT SCAN IN 3 MONTHS.  SHOULD I GET ANOTHER OPINION OR COULD IT BECOME MALIGNANT IN THAT 3 MONTHS ?

I also have been told I have an 8mm lung nodule in my left lung base and to come back in 3 months for another CT scan.  The doctor calls it a watch and see. Since then I have researched lung nodules and found that most of them are considered begin if nothing has changed.  So after a two year watch and see they are considered begin.  According to the Internet from reliable sources, cancer doesn't grow too awfully fast. So 3 months would not make too much of a difference if it was cancer.  I also was told that I could get a second opinion to help my piece of mind.

SOUNDS LIKE IT THE USUAL DIAGNOSIS. JUST WAITING IS THE WORST. THANKS
