Several nodules in lungs

Hi Indian

The simple answer is 'No'

Post treatment a number of small nodules were found in my lung, and I was monitored for several years.  When discussing nodules with one of my Consultants he told me the following; if every adult in the UK was given a full body scan, the vast majority would be found to have at least one harmless nodule somewhere in their body.  

Trust the Radiologist's opinion; they are the experts at spotting any areas of concern. You will monitored on a regular basis. so put this to the back of your mind and get on with your life.

Thank you kegsy, the only thing niggling in my mind was that is how they found my original cancer, but you've helped ease my concerns 

Thank you, the only reason I was worried was, that's how they found my original cancerous nodule. I was reassured by my lovely consultant,  that these are common & may not even show in my next scan. 6 months later it had doubled in size. Positive result on Pet scan 2 weeks later & R upper lobectomy 6 weeks later. But you have reassured me Kegsy, thank you 

Hi Indian,

I've just got back the results of a nodule and cysts being found in my lung in Late January following a CT scan for my heart. After 2 biopsies, they have concluded I do not have cancerous cells in there.  While it will be different for each of us, I wanted to share an example where I was initially told it was expected I had cancer and now it is hopefully just  inflammation, but definitely not cancer.
