Hello and thanks for your post,

I am sorry to hear about your concerns.

Lung nodules are quite common and may not be anything to worry about. If people without health problems were scanned many would be found to have nodules in organs. In many cases these are benign (not cancer) but in a small number of patients it might mean that there is cancer present.

In your particular case nodules were identified last March and they have decided to rescan you to check whether there are any changes to the nodules that were identified last year.

Doctors follow clinical guidance when looking at lung nodules. This helps them to decide what types of nodules need to be followed up to see if they change.  It is often the case of repeating scans and monitoring any changes in the nodules.

There is some information written by the NHS on lung nodules which you may find helpful to read. Have a look here

Even though it is good to hear other people's experience on the forum do remember that everyone's experience will be slightly different.

Make a list of questions to ask your doctors when you see them, for example how often you will be monitored based on your recent results. Don't be afraid to talk through your concerns so hopefully they will be able to put your mind at rest.

If you would like to chat this through with one of the nurses on the helpline then you are more then welcome to get back to us or give us a ring. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

All the Best,

Catherine
