Brief Answer:
New report mentions a comparison
Detailed Answer:
Hello, well, the language used here is very ambiguous, but given what has been typed in the report, I would have to deduce that the new report is mentioning a NEW nodule in addition to the one that was originally seen in the Left Adrenal.
If you could upload the scans themselves, i could do the comparison myself and confirm it.

Brief Answer:
You will need to follow-up with your Oncologist for a good answer
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX I'm so sorry. I wish I was a qualified Oncologist. But my experience with Adrenal Metastasis and its management is limited.
From the history you've have mentioned, I can imagine that radio-ablation of the nodule might be an option. But again, an Oncologist would be your best bet for high quality information.
