A member asked:
7mm lung nodule found in upper to middle right lung, ground glass type with "blurry" edges. having follow-up ct scan in 3 months. i am 55 and worried?

Leave to your doc: This is not a very large mass and the CT in another 3 months will likely help guide the steps to be followed. I suggest that you stop worrying and let your doctor guide you through the evaluation. Something would have been done if your doctor had strongly suspected cancer being the cause.
