Not that simple: Your doctor has more facts than what you are giving., in general a biopsy is needed to say it is cancer or not and it is the only way.. It is a low risk out patient procedure, discuss with your doctor.

Yes and no: 1.2 to 1.5 cm is not a lot of change and it may be positional, but if real bear in mind that cxr and ct are 2-dimensional and the lung nodule is 3-dimensional so it may account to doubling in growth. Also see all my previous answers, blondie:).
