Hi Erin,

I can completely relate to your worry. In October 2006, an adominal CT picked up two lung nodules, 4 and 5 mm. They were not there upon intitial scans following diagnosis. After getting second and third opinions, I waited three months for a rescan, which showed no change. Waiting those three months was awful! I've now had three scans (Jan 2007, July 2007, Jan 2008) and there has been no change. I'm told the nodules could be a number of things, prior infection, radiation, etc. I 'll have another scan in October, which will be 2 years since first spotting of nodules. Your doctor's suggestion to wait three months seems standard, but I understand your worry. A second opinion might ease your mind, just knowing you're doing all you can. I pray we both have nodules that turn out to be nothing. Take care,

Lynn W
