I had a CT scan the other day and it showed a 9mm nodular opacity in the superior segment of the left lower
lung. Differential diagnosis includes early
pneumonia, focal pneumonitis, scarring and early developing neoplasm. Given history of smoking , 3 follow-up chest CT is recommended to document stability/resolution.
My question is how long do I wait to take the next CT? My family doctor says do one a year. What is your opinion? I'm really concerned about the possibility of cancer.
