Lisa,
I can understand your concerns, if this is of any help,
when I was first dx, I had scans done and a small nodule was found on my lung. The way my dr. approached this was to monitor the nodule which we did for 2 yrs.

My dr. explained that their are different types of nodeules, mine was the so called ground glass opacity, non solid elements. (you can see through it) these tend not to be cancer. But these still have to be observed and tracked. So for the last two years we have monitored the nodule. It did go away....

These can come from infections even anesthia. As I went back for my usual check up the dr. found two new small non solid nodules.

We will be tacking these. Lisa I would suggest you ask the dr. the size, they are usually small 1 MM to 4MM,
if the nodule is solid or non solid. Could just be fluid
like a cyst.

I realize these issues are extremely upsetting, but do try to stay calm, ask lots of questions. Your dr. may even suggest a strong anti biodic.

Lisa, often times as we have scans it opens the door to many false readings...hence why the dr. are not keen on having these scans to begin with. You may have had this nodule forever....(I don't know if this was your first CT scan? ) The nodule can even be scarring from past
infections from childhood.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any additional questions. Without knowing your bc history it is difficult to know what tests you have had or what stage you are etc. Maybe you can fill in your signature.
In any event try to stay calm (easier said than done) write down all the questions you wish to discuss with the dr. Is he a lung specialist?
Ask him how he will track? Size of nodule, solid or non solid.

Wishing all the best...
Hugs,
jean
