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'll be heading in tomorrow for my three year follow up scan.  My nodule is part solid, which means it needs to be followed longer given increased risk.  As always, I'm extremely nervous.  Good luck to everyone out there.

Bad news, after doc said no change, the radiology report says it grew. Nice.
Supposed to keep watching.

Hi brad how are u doing and how is the test? What does part solid mean? I also have a 1mm nodule on the upper left lobe

[BradR]

Still monitoring.  I have my annual scan this week!

Hello BradR.  We definitely appreciate your following back up with us with an update!  We wish you the very best at your scan this week.  

[BradR]

I'm happy to follow up.  Too often people don't and it leaves the rest of us wondering.

My update - We did an x-ray (less radiation) and the Dr. can't say it hasn't changed, but can say it hasn't changed materially.  We will continue to monitor via x-ray in a year.  It has been five years of monitoring now.

I need some help/advice... When i was in the hospital for multiple PE's last June they found two nodules 1 in each lung. I went in for a follow up CT yesterday now that the PE's are all gone and they called me today telling me i have a 13mm granuloma in my right upper lobe. 1.) what the heck does that mean!? everything says 8 and smaller are the ones that are least likely to be Cancer so what does 13mm mean? 2.) They couldnt tell me anything about the one in my left lobe that we have been watching for the last 3 CT's are they trying to tell me that it magically disappeared?.. i dont know who to ask or what questions to ask.. .anyone?... Any

Hello, I'm new to this forum. Please update me on your situation.

[BradR]

It's been about 15 months for me and I'm now going back for my second follow up scan tomorrow.  I hope everyone is doing well here.  I'm obviously very nervous for tomorrow and am hoping for no more nodules and a stable/smaller nodule that we've been monitoring.

[BradR]

Doctor said it looks stable.  Another follow up in a year.  That will likely be final follow up if stable as it will be three years.  Typically, two years is stable, but mine is ground glass which need to be monitored longer.

There used to be so many people on this thread but it appears to have dried up. I wish some of those who posted earlier would come back and tell us their outcomes because they usually are comforting! And even those who get news of a carcinoma tell us much about what patients face when told they have pulmonary nodules.

From this thread, I have learned that nearly everyone has anxiety as a result of receiving news they have nodules and the waiting for the next CT is the worst.

I am a non-smoker with multiple nodules, the largest being a 1.5 cm nodule with some ground glass and irregular margins who was treated for non-invasive BC last year.   It's going to be a long three months....
