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!

I went in for a cough that has been going on for almost a month. Before moving to Texas I would get a cold every year and it would turn into a sinus infection and the cough would linger for a month. So, the doctor says I have upper respiratory infection.  Prescribed Doxycycline. Then he calls back the next day to say he say a 4mm spot middle lobe and wants me to have a CT scan with contrast to see if it is from the infection. Does anyone know if this contrast is injected or if I have to drink something. And, is all the coughing coming from the infection or the spot he saw.

Hi group - I also looking for advice and a listing ear - I'm 46 and have asthma . In 2002 I became very ill . This went on for we over a month with fevers - chills , weight loss . I kept being placed on different meds as I was told I had Pneumonia . Finally as I became more ill they put me in the hospital and gave me Iv meds they were not helping . After a bronchoscope they biopsy came back with a lipid pneumonia - who knows how I got it or why . I was good for a while and over the year have had several bouts of pneumonia . I finally went to a better pulmonary dr who did all kinds if scans And told me I could have MAC and I had mild Brocheestisis sp. and lung nodules - he was very you showing that these nodules were nothing to really worry about that every year we would do scans they were part of my lungs due to the asthma , the bronch issues  etc ... I switched dr because he was far and I was doing ok . My last scan was over 2 years ago but recently I was sick 2 times in
May and my chest and asthma were really in a uproar . I dud get better after 2 rounds if meds - about 2 or 3 weeks ago my asthma was really so bad was using my nebulizer 3 to 4 times a day with no relief- I made an appointment to see the pulmonologist and he immediately did an x-ray. He told me there was a nodule seen in my lung that had not ever been in the lung before and sent me for car scan . Reported back that the nodules is 6 mm I think I got so nervous I'm sure he did not say centimeters ( correct) and protocol says anything over six not 5 mm you need to follow up with the pet scan in six months.  Needless  to say I immediately went on Google and found myself already dead of lung cancer. Not funny because I'm panicking ! Can anyone just lend a ear give me advice - similar situation - after reading some message boards people are like get it out no matter how small it is others are like they should go in and do a biopsy right now! Why Waite . I'm so confused :( no this was a really long post but again just looking for someone to talk to and share, I feel so alone . I have two kids 11/16 and trying to be ok for them

Hello I am 44 yr old female (non smoker) and had random ct scan for stomache issue (which is fine), and found a 3x5 nodule on my lower right lung along major fissure.  Asked friend who is Pulmo and going to see one next wk.  These are common etc. and look again in 12 months earliest 3-6. I am of the mind that I want it removed yesterday.  Gone.  Or at least biopsied.  Can anyone give me 2 cents on this who has been there?  THank you.

I had a CT scan done almost a week ago and have to go for another one in 3 months time.  I am very worried!  I have smoked for about 40 years.  (started young).  I have dull constant chest pain, pain in the back, very short of breath, almost constant cough.  Only answer I got from my CT scan was...."nonspecific changes" and return for scan in 3 months!  Very very scared at this point.
