Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The nodule is a small rounded opacity of diameter 3 mm approximately. In your report it is not confirmed if there is a nodule and speculation exists. To make sure, as you are a cancer survivor, I suggest you get a CT scan chest done and discuss it with your doctor. As pointed out, the possibility of a false positive nodular appearance of normal vessel persists.
