PS Most small pulmonary nodules do not end up being cancer--so if you had some, do NOT assume the doctors ignored you erroneously, that you should have had surgery and your prognosis is poor.

Rather look at this as...if any of those nodules ever proved to be cancer,or I develop lung mets subsequently, if found early when there are only a few, this might be a good opportunity to improve my prognosis

Hope I kept some needless worry at bay!
