Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about what you father is experiencing. If your father has a nodule, then it need to be evaluated and the possibility of a cancer ruled out. Maybe doing a biopsy or surgical excision would help address this. Please, ask the doctor who prescribed drugs on what his thoughts are. Is this a preliminary management for future assessment before making modifications or he strongly thinks the nodule is of no concern? I will like to see the possibility of cancer excluded before settling for any other possible cause and treatment plan.
I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to request for more information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
Thanks.
