I did a CT scan last August as a normal routine and was found a 5mm spiculated lung nodule in the posterior basal segment of the left lung and multiple calcified pleural plaques on the left. They booked me another CT in a year and should meet a respiratory consultant in 8 days. I never worked in asbestos but used to smoke a packet of cigarettes daily although stopped around 4 years ago.
Hi Godwisper welcome to the group but sorry you have found yourself here. I can understand how worried you must be after the CT scan. It is very difficult for anyone to say what the nodule may be, but I would be slightly reassured that they have said that they will re scan in a years time. I would think that you will get much more information from the respiratory consultant when you see him. If you have not been referred to oncology then it would seem that they are not treating this as cancer at this stage. Nodules can be anything and are not always cancerous.
