Lung nodule: Calcified tiny lung nodule is more likely to be a benign nodule such as granuloma. However, to ensure stability, perhaps a follow up ct scan of chest can be done in the next several months to evaluate the nodule. Discuss further with your doctor.

I just found out I have a 9mm noncalcified lung nodule in upper left lobe. Dr wants to wait 3 months for a ct but Im scared to wait that long. Chances of it being cancer? I read that noncalcified and upper lobe is bad findings.
