What Causes Speckle Like Growth On Lungs?
My Dad told me the VA Doctor found small speckles on his lungs 2 yrs. ago. They have been doing scans every 6 months. Well they have grown, he needs to have another scan done in 2 weeks. I had no clue that this was happing to him. This is not good, is it? My Dad is strong & tough for a man of his age 80 yrs. old. I just need more information. As my Dad did not say much at all. Thank You.

Hello,
If isn’t having any breathing issues or any other sickness symptoms then possibly this growth isn’t affecting him but tracing is important to keep the growth in check as unwanted growth can land up to malignancy sometimes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
