I have multiple nodules. They counted 11 that they measured 6mm and lower. They say its normal 😬
I’m quite anxious found lung nodule with GGO in upper left lobe, and GGO in right lung. I’m a previous smoker with lung cancer very thick in my family. Just lost my father in Oct 2022 from lung cancer. I’ve been told to repeat CT in 3 months. Still the wait is horrible.
How are you now praying for you
I hope you are OK! Please let us know! I got my results last friday and I'm just like you.
My lung dr acted like they were nothing to worry about and prob inflamation
PLEASE INFERMEIATON IN BREST CANCER
If nodule is metastatic from thyroid cancer should see pullmonology
My nodule was described as a groundglass opacity? Is that inflammation always??

What about a 14mm in the upper right lobe
Feb 2023, Bilateral, multiple scattered GGO nodules 2mm with bronchial wall thickening.
Unchanged from May, 2013.
Kyle is a great teacher on these matters of nodules in the lung.
My nodule was discovered 6 years ago during a hospital visit for something unrelated. It is at the bottom of the right lower lobe. The nodule was 1.1 cm. I have had eight CT scans which show the nodule increasing in size. My most recent scan was 3.8 CM by 1.6 according to the radiologist. But when I met with my pulmonologist after the results she re-measured it in her office and said it was only 2.1 cm and that she would see me in a year for another CT scan. There was a discussion about biopsy but I did have a pet scan and the nodule lit up. I have other comorbidities so I have chosen against biopsy at this time. The pulmonologist said it is most likely a very slow-growing carcinoid, probably still stage 1 something. She said as long as I'm having no symptoms she is not that concerned. 2 years ago when I had the previous scan done it said that I now had a second nodule which was 8 mm caudle to the main nodule. This recent scan said that that nodule had also grown but it did not give the size. I am 70 years old. Smoked for 16 years but quit 42 years ago. My mom had Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. No other cancers in my family that I'm aware of.
Great info.
Do you have the name of the song and artist singing at the beginning of this video.
Yes, the artist is Casey Hurt and the song name is "Family".
Ground glass nodule
If a tumor is very small and it’s cancerous can pieces break off and go other places in the body?
Great questions and points made up, including CT location consistency.
