That is good if they have not mentioned. I have two in left lobe; they are not solid or part solid, which is good news. Scanning again in 3 months, I keep praying that they resolve or remain unchanged. Have a good weekend!

I had a RUL in October 2023. I had a ground glass in my upper left lobe. They monitor it with CT scans. They haven’t been mentioned in my last two scans. Hopefully they’re gone.

Ground glass nodules (GGNs) in the opposite lung after a lobectomy for a cancerous nodule are typically monitored through regular imaging tests. Here’s how the monitoring process generally works:

Ground glass nodules (GGNs) in the opposite lung after a lobectomy for a cancerous nodule are typically monitored through regular imaging tests. Here’s how the monitoring process generally works:

- Annual Screening: Many small nodules can be monitored with annual screening.
- Follow-Up Scans: In some cases, doctors may ask for a follow-up scan in a few months to check if the nodule has grown.
- Biopsy: If the nodule shows growth, a biopsy may be performed to determine if it is cancerous.

This approach helps in early detection and management of any potential cancerous developments.
