A member asked:
An er visit and ct noted an 8mm sub pleural nodule on low/right lung. said to retake ct in 3 mos. should i see a pulmonologist sooner? or wait?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait: That nodule is too small to characterize. Following up according to guidelines is probably what the pulmonologist will tell you. Other, considerations include family history and your personal smoking history.
