Hi, should a 6 mm lung nodule be taken seriously? 3 lung nodules were located 6 months ago 1 x 6mm ( right lung ) 2 x 5mm ( left lung), my gp is not so bothered ,, should this be taken more seriously ? if not cancer why do lung nodules appear?

It depends on your risk factors and more details are needed to answer this. Are you a smoker? If you are a smoker then the CT scan may need to be repeated in 3-6 months. Your doctor can see the whole picture, so ask him or her.
