What Do Diffuse Pulmonary Nodules Indicate?

I conquered Hodgkins in 2016. I am a baby boomer. I m scheduled for a bronchoscopy this week. I had a small solid nodule, and now it is more diffuse. It s not Hodgkins coming back, that was ruled out. Is is a bad sign that the nodule became diffuse? Any thoughts? I feel fine.

Hi,

As the biopsy has taken and lymphoma has been ruled out, then nothing much to worry about it. It can be a lymph node swelling. You can do frequent followup only.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
