12 MM GROUND GLASS NODULE IN THE RIGHT LUNG

Hi, I didn't have this problem but if I were you, I would seek a second opinion. If the doctor believes it is most likely cancer, I would be wanting it removed, or a biopsy at the minimum. We all know that cancer grows, so to let it hang around and potentially spread over the next 6 months sounds odd. I know that some small nodules can be hard to biopsy, but my understanding was that this is where they are less than 1cm.

Maybe the ground glass aspect changes things, I don't know, but definitely try and get a second opinion from an expert.

Good luck

I had stage3 prostate cancer 3 years ago- had surgery, radiotherapy and chemo. Lately I was feeling breathless and my cardiologist arranged a CT angiogram which was normal but found 3 cm ground glass opacities in the right lung. Reading the comments here makes me feel nervous in case it is a cancer- what should I do. Cardiologist says it’s not his area. Any suggestions 

Hi . I've been diganosed with 2 nodules on my left lung,1 is 11mm &the other is smaller. I'm having another c.t scan in 3 mths time as I've been told its watch&wait which apparently is the normal procedure as I have spoken with my specialist nurse about this. I would suggest you speak to your specialist  nurse to get peace of mind. X

Thanks for sharing your experience. Since posting my last message, I’ve spoken to several lung oncologist- all suggested repeat CT followed by biopsy, if positive then radiotherapy or surgery. If negative then surveillance every 6 months. It’s a very  difficult time while waiting  to know which direction the biopsy results going to take you .
