Brief Answer:
Has there been any change in the properties of this nodule?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this nodule. If for the past two years nothing has changed about this nodule on CT scan and you have no symptoms there is just no reason to get worried. I will side with your doctor on this. However, let him compare this Xray film to previous one and if there are no changes, we should all be reasured that nothing bad is going on.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
