Lung bump: I would be too. But not likely is what he must be thinking. What other reasons for nodule did he suggest. Why was CT done in first place?. Work around asbestosis?

Just had my 3rd Low Dose CT Lung Cancer Scan. One in 2015, 2019 and now 2019. On all three they have noted a Solitary 3mm non-calcified nodule within the medial subpleural aspect of the Lingula, no pulmonary mass, nodule is stable and unchanged?

Conflicting info one doc says small cell lung cancer cannot be ruled out by unremarkable chest ct scan. Another doc says it can as sclc is exceptionally unlikely with nothing significant on ct. Any radiologists here have any views. Thank you.
