How Serious Could A Non-growing Lung Nodule Be, Have History Of Breast Cancer?
I recently just had a spiral cat scan to check on a nodule they found three months ago, he said it was still the same size as 4 months ago, but the saw some haziness in my lung. He thinks that it may be due to radation I had a few months back for breast cancer.should i be alarmed by this news.

There can be haziness due to radiation induced lung fibrosis.
If the nodule has remained stable in size and there is no evidence of disease anywhere else, I would suggest that the nodule size be followed with a CAT scan in 3 months time.
