[Hi my name is Misty]

Thank you all for the support and kindness.  The surgeon said he would attempt a wedge resection but may end up with the entire lobe, which I am ok with.   God has worked out all the details and so far everything has fallen into place! 

[Hi my name is Misty]

I am 45 and a nodule was found incidentally during a chest X-ray. 
my second CT report read as follows…

Within the superior segment of the right lower lobe, there is a thick-walled cavitary pulmonary nodule. The margins are spiculated. The cavity measures approximately 2.0 x 1.8 cm (axial image 128, series 3). The nodule contacts the pleural surface of the major fissure. No evidence for extension through the pleura. Also within the right lower lobe, there is a subpleural noncalcified pulmonary nodule measuring about 4 mm (axial image 173, series 3). There are a couple of millimetric pleural-based intrapulmonary lymph nodes within the right lower lobe also seen.

 

I do have surgery scheduled for September 9.  I am hoping to learn from this forum! A biopsy will also be done during surgery.
