Lung Nodules?

[nicol612]

I had 10 noncalcified pulmonary nodules from 3-7mm show on a CT scan for something unrelated in Nov 08 when these were found. Since, CT scans revealed 2 more nodules in June 09 and now a whopping 15 nodules 3-7mm in size on my recent scan a week ago. Anyone have a take on what could be causing these? I am 32, non-smoker as of 6-09 and smoked for 23 yrs, since I was 9. the 3 newest nodules have come after I quit smoking. Drs tell me not to worry, yet cannot tell me the cause of these nodules or even what they are......Any suggestions? Im going crazy wondering.....

Thanks in advance!

Hi. I had a chest x-ray in 2007 whch showed a few small pulmonary nodules. I then followed up with CT scans every 6 months for 2 years and thankfully they were considered stable.
So I just had another chest x-ray done last week for a completely unrelated event and they spotted a 3mm nodule in my right lung... having CT scan today to start the follow-up process yet again.
From all that I've read, it appears that these nodules can come and go so I want to assume that this may be a new one, and the dr. only mentioned one whereas last time there were a few within both lungs.
This is such a common finding and the vast majority of them are benign... always want to remain positive!

my father found out he had a tumor on kidney in Feb. Doc saw a few places on lymph nodes and lower lung. Lymph nodes checked out fine. Yesterday he got results from CT scan done last friday. The spots on lungs have gotten much smaller, but they found another spot. He had no type of treatment other than removal of kidney. I am just sick to my stomach and I know he is scared out of his mind, just not showing it. They have referred him to lung Dr. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone???

Hi there,  i hope you have calmed down  some. My husband had an abdominal CT scan that caught 2 small lung micronodules. We had to follow them for 18 months. They remained stable. What size ate yours? Ate they following them?,

I have three nodules in the right middle and lower lobe. Had three scan over last year. Two are stable but the third is new. Largest nodule is 10mm with ground glass opacity. I'm nervous.

Hi not sure what to think I am a chronic pancreatitis patient have had numerous ct scans  this past oct14  I had a ct that showed a 12mm irregular density nodule   The report said to have a follow up ct in 3-6 months well it's been 6 months and I havent had a follow up done yet.  My family thinks I'm just fine and no need to worry   I went to the doctor today for shoulder pain and the doc never saw the past ct but he read the report from the ct  done in October   By a differnt doc.  The doc said this could likely be malignant.   Is this to soon to be worried or should I wait for the follow up ct before jumping to the malignant possibility
