Below 6mm nodule on lung

This scares me. Anybody else with experience with this kind of thing?

Could you elaborate a little more ? Is this found from a scan ?

Yes it was a chest ct scan. I was shocked.

What did the doctors say about it?

It will be checking back every 6 months to see if it gets bigger. Stressful.

Yes stressful , but it doesn't sound like immediately grave news . I'm sure they know what they're doing.

I just had my yearly CT Chest Scan last week. I have a nodule on mine too. Been there for a while. They told me to have tests done yearly and not to worry. A lot of people have this and it is usually benign.. It is often caused by a broken blood vessel that healed from a bad cold or chest cough and usually causes no harm. I am 84 and have had it for a while. Hope this helps you to relax about it.
