It was an abdominal CT scan so only caught the lower section of my lungs. But I wanted to know which lung and the size as I have read a lot of stuff. I was very relieved to see this:7mm indeterminate lingular nodule which may be inflammatory versus neoplastic. Recommend chest CT correlation. This put my mind at ease for now as due to the size and everything I have read, the nodules are almost always benign. So unless they find more on the CT Scan they took today, I am pretty sure I am in the clear. I would strongly recommend that anyone who gets a vague "we found a spot on your lung" and that is all they tell you, get a copy for yourself to see what you are dealing with. Or ask the Dr. for the wording and explanation. I have spent the past week in a panic (well hidden tho).Thanks to all and God Bless. My prayers are with all of you who arent as fortunate. ally5051 Wed, 08 Aug 2007 00:00:00 GMT What is the difference between a nodule and a tumour? My CT showed a tumour.
