What Does Multilevel Degenerative Changes Of The Thoracic Spine Mean?

I had a right lower lobectomy 3/3/14 it was Stage 1A adenocarcinoma. Nothing spread into the lymph nodes. I have routine CT High resolution. The one I had today reads linear opacities and subpleural noncalcified 4mm nodule left lower lobe, multilevel degenerative changes of the thoracic spine. What does this mean? Should I be concerned and have another type of test

Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is the finding of spinal degenerative disease with some lesion in pleural area ideally it needs to be correlate with the clinical condition and further investigation can only be decided with that only hope this information helps.
