Rose,
Lung nodule / pleural fusion are commonly signs of cancer. However, I DID have walking pnuemonia kitty last spring & I came down with such a nasty flu last month. (Thanks to Hubby, who contracted 1st & passed it on to me.) I'm still coughing out gross phlegm, thanks to a dry mouth, due to lack of saliva ('late' side effect of radiation seeds, cuz the cavity of the old tumor is right behind my left ear on the lower part. I've been going around with a good ole faithful bottle of water for a good while now. I can't live without water for the time being. I tell ya, we definitely take our saliva for granted!
Additionally, the nodule could represent simply as scar tissue, cuz in my case, it is situated right behind my mastectomy scar.
The next scans coming up should give us a better idea. If the nodule and / or pleural fusion increase in size, then it is more likely cancer. :-(
So, back to the waiting game once again. Sigh!! :-(
