During a cat scan, my pulmonologist found a 4.7 mm lung nodule in right lung. This in July 2013. He suggested another ct scan in Jan 2014. The office just called and said that the dr says the nodule has NOT changed in 6 months and to call back in 1 month for an appt in 3-4 months.. This nodule is non calcified...which worries me. This is new to me.
I have had rheum arth for 30 plus yrs...have sjogrens, raynaud, scleroderma...all the overlapping diseases that come with r/a. I know r/a nodules are considered calcified, correct?.
what else shows up as non calcified? What else could it be? and if this was serious, would this have grown?
Thank you for any help.
