Hi I have had 2 ct scans in the last 3 months as a node was discover between the lobes of my right lung in the first one. The second one shows a change from looking like a node to looking as if it is stretching out ( my doctors words) is this any indication of lung cancer?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should get done CT guided biopsy of the lesion for the diagnosis.
Possibility of malignancy is there as the lesion is rnlarging in size.
Biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing malignancy. So better to get done CT guided biopsy.
