Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Are Nodule In Left Lung And Hazy Density In Lower Lobes A Cause For Concern?
I`VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A 6mm NODULE IN LEFT LUNG AND HAVE BEEN TOLD TO TAKE ANOTHER CT SCAN IN 3 MONTHS. SHOULD I GET ANOTHER OPINION OR COULD IT BECOME MALIGNANT IN THAT 3 MONTHS ? It also says that I have a tiny calcified granuloma left lower lobe and Some hazy density in both lower lobes that probably represents dependent atelectasis. I am worried because I was extremely exposed to second hand smoke for 5 years. Should I be worried?
Hello dear Greetings Regarding your experience with diagnosed 6mm nodule with a tiny calcified granuloma at left lung zone by a CT scan with history of smoking I will suggest you have developed a lung cancer
In view of this please schedule an appointment with an oncologist specialist for further clinical assessment and adequate drug prescription
I hope this helps Regards
