A member asked:
I had a follow up chest ct scan due to small (4mm) nodules in my lungs and now the report says this: stable nodules and multiple small patchy groundglass opacities in both lungs, more prominent in the upper lobes. what does that mean?

Those CT findings are abnormal. You need to be evaluated by a pulmonologist (a lung specialist). Further blood tests need to be done and lung biopsy may be required if diagnosis can't be reliably confirmed with blood tests.
