Not all nodules a CA: I would suggest to ask your physician for clarification about the nodule. Usually a biopsy (a piece is taken out of any suspicious spot for lab assessment) is taken during the procedure, and that would give you the definite answer of the cause of the nodule. Hope you get well soon

Wait for biopsies: most of the time these are benign findings and nothing to worry about. very rarely antrum nodules require further treatment. It would be helpful to see images, and description of it. Biopsies usually come fairly fast (within 1-5 days depending on pathology lab)
