Hello! I'm hesitant to even post anything on nodules when so many people have much more serious issues than mine. I was hoping some current and past nodule watchers could give me some opinions on how to proceed. I had my 3rd ct scan to watch a nodule and here are the results:There is a persistent poorly marginated focal subpleural opacity measuring 4MM in diameter in the posterolateral left lower lobe,unchanged since 12/06 & 8/06. Stable poorly marginated low density subpleural opacity in the posterolateral left lower lobe. This remains indeterminate with regards to its malignant potential but has not changed appreciably since 8/06 and 12/06 exams. Recommend continued follow up ct in 6 months. No new opacacities are evidenet elsewhere other than an aread of scarring or atelectasis in the left upper lobe of doubtful significance and possibly due to the prone positioning. Am I suppose to just wait every 6 months like the Dr's say? How often do solitary nodules turn in to something more? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks tag
