Can A Lung Nodule Be A Cancerous One?
I learned about a single lung nodule on my lung. It was determined through a CT and PET Scan that it isn t cancer. I am due in a couple of weeks for a follow up. However, I got injured and had to have a CT Scan and it revealed that it hasn t grown, but it does have jagged edges and is speckled. Which has changed from earlier CT Scan. Is it possible that it has changed to cancer?
